Challenge
Vitamin Angels is a global public health nonprofit working to improve maternal and child nutrition worldwide. In the U.S., the organization collaborates with over 300 local community partners including WIC sites, federally qualified health centers, public health departments, and domestic violence support organizations to distribute prenatal vitamins to underserved pregnant women who experience barriers to accessing essential nutrition. One of Vitamin Angels’ biggest challenges is identifying where they can reach underserved women in the U.S. While they have typically relied on their network of community partners and the Social Vulnerability Index, the organization sought a more sophisticated approach to helping them pinpoint gaps in access to essential nutrition and healthcare across the U.S.
