Elevate+ for Catholic Charities.
Trust, between visits.
Your mission is to empower low-income Californians to lead healthy, active, and nourished lifestyles. Catholic Charities has built something technology alone cannot create for that mission: trust. We believe technology should strengthen that relationship — never replace it.
Your mission.
Made daily.
These aren't our words — they're yours. Every commitment your program made, Elevate+ helps keep.
"Empower low-income Californians to lead healthy, active, and nourished lifestyles."
Empowerment that continues at home: a daily check-in that starts with how someone feels, weekly meal plans built from each family's own foods and routines, and one achievable improvement at a time — never a generic meal plan.
"Whole-person, whole-family services that address root causes — delivered with dignity."
Personalization that honors the whole person: onboarding captures each family's food background and lets people tell their food story in their own words — and Nova listens without judgment. Even the daily reminders are written to encourage, never to guilt.
"Access for everyone — multilingual, without barriers."
Today: voice, photo, or simple text — no account, no forms, no cost to families to begin, and personal data stays on the family's own device. Next, together: a fully multilingual experience, prioritized by the languages your communities actually speak.
"Preserve CalFresh Healthy Living's knowledge, partnerships, and community capability."
A sustainable continuation model built around your people: through Coach Mode, your staff pair with the families they serve, see progress, and stay connected between visits — thousands of families supported without thousands of additional staff hours. And in-app Communities let families from the same pantry or parish encourage one another between visits.
What this looks like in practice.
The interaction doesn't end
when they leave.
Consider a family receiving groceries or completing nutrition education through a local Catholic Charities organization. Through Elevate+, that family keeps receiving practical guidance all week — how to build balanced meals from foods they already have, healthier substitutions, and what to eat next based on the day so far.
Small, achievable improvements — inside the realities of their lives, not a generic meal plan. For the low-income families hit hardest by obesity and type 2 diabetes, that daily support is prevention where it matters most.
Designed around the person.
Not the plan.
The goal is never to tell families to abandon the foods they know and love. It's to help them make achievable improvements within their own lives.
Food culture matters.
Guidance built around the cuisines and traditions each family actually eats.
Family traditions matter.
Keep the recipes that bring people together — improved, not replaced.
Budget matters.
Recommendations that respect limited food dollars and what's already in the kitchen.
Accessibility matters.
Voice, photo, or simple text — in the interaction style each person is comfortable with.
Connection that
outlasts the visit.
Coach Mode makes staying connected real, not aspirational. A staff member shares a simple pairing code with a family; from then on they can see progress, suggest adjustments the family accepts or declines, and leave encouraging notes — notes the AI reads and follows, so Nova always defers to your people.
Food access solves one part of the challenge. Nutrition education solves another. Personalized, ongoing support bridges the final gap: between receiving resources and consistently practicing healthier behaviors.
Start small.
Measure honestly.
As California works to preserve the community impact CalFresh Healthy Living created, we'd love to start small with one or several local Catholic Charities organizations.
A Defined Cohort
Families already receiving nutrition or food-assistance services through a local organization.
No Cost to Begin
Elevate+ provided free to participating families as we start — no procurement hurdle to begin learning together.
Jointly Measured
Engagement and behavioral outcomes evaluated together — with full transparency about what worked and what didn't.
Scale With Dignity
If successful: individualized nutrition support for thousands of families, without thousands of additional staff hours.
"The human relationship remains Catholic Charities. Elevate+ simply allows that relationship to continue between visits."
