Our Mission
The Legacy Health Foundation is a unique, non-profit community initiative located in Oberlin, Ohio, that was created to address the critical nutritional and preventative health needs of underserved populations. Our mission is:
To provide access to free or low-cost organic and natural healing foods and products, and other necessities of daily living, in a cooperative and dignified setting;
To make our clients aware of, and promote avoidance of, toxic chemicals and other detrimental substances that are present in many food products and our environment that can contribute to the manifestation of disease;
To encourage proactively the use of natural non-invasive preventative approaches to fostering and maintaining optimal health;
To guide, empower, and motivate individuals with knowledge that will help them to make informed nutrition and healthcare decisions that will improve their physical health, mental ability, and well-being, and ultimately that of their families and communities; and
To support the further enrichment of lives through community involvement and gifts that may include, subject to funding availability, and when there is a lack of other community resources available to remedy the situation, funding for: Utilities assistance, job training, childcare assistance, community events, emergency shelter, seasonal and interview clothing, transportation, counseling, and other initiatives where there is deemed to be an appropriate critical need that will benefit the welfare of our clients.
