Nayak Farms is honored to be working in collaboration with the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health

On September 28th in Washington D.C., Nayak Farms of Gardner, Illinois was recognized at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health (WHCHNH) for their dedication and pledge to tackling food insecurity in Illinois and the Midwest. The invite-only WHCHNH is the first conference in over 50 years since President Nixon’s White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health to unify Americans around the goal of ending hunger and reducing diet-related disease by 2030.

A Unique Story

Dr. David Nayak, or as friends call him Dr. Dave, has always had big dreams and a unique passion for impacting his community for good. He established the Strength to Love Foundation in 2019 as a launching point to improve the quality of life for Chicagoans, starting with free, sub-specialty medical services.

A dedicated mission

Nayak Farms was established to provide resources for food insecure communities in Illinois.

The Strength to Love Foundation has partnered with Nayak Farms to help logistically coordinate the largest donation of sweet corn in Illinois.

Through our partnerships with Illinois Food Banks and Community Food Pantries, we coordinate and help deliver annual donations of sweet corn to the state of Illinois, as well as Eastern Iowa, Eastern Missouri and Western Indiana.
