As the Make America Healthy Again initiative targets America’s chronic disease epidemic, Ashley Tyrner-Dolce advocates for healthy food accessibility. She founded a fresh food delivery service.
An estimated 53.6 million people, or 17.4% of the U.S. population, live in low-income and low-access areas that are more than half a mile away from the nearest supermarket in urban areas or 10 miles in rural areas, according to 2025 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). "We want healthy, organic food for these communities." "Rather than treating healthcare as sick care, let's actually treat it as healthcare." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
To help address this issue, Boston mom Ashley Tyrner-Dolce started a food delivery service to provide whole, healthy foods to Americans who live in these food deserts.
