Vowels

Changing lifestyles to save lives

Restoring food literacy, reawakening biblical stewardship, and empowering communities with the knowledge they were never given.

Born Out of Necessity

Vowels was born out of necessity—not ambition. Founder Kortney Lee recognized that the real crisis wasn't just physical—it was educational and spiritual. People weren't making poor health decisions because they didn't care.

They were making the only decisions they had ever been taught.

Even in communities where food is technically available, the absence of clarity, consistency, and culturally relevant health education continues to keep people sick. The problem isn't just what's being sold—it's what's not being taught. Marketing has replaced mentorship. Labels have replaced literacy.

Our Foundation

Vowels was founded to restore food literacy, reawaken biblical stewardship of the body, and empower people with the knowledge they were never given. The name "Vowels" represents something deeper: the essential building blocks of language—and by extension, of life.

Just as vowels are present in every word, clarity about food, faith, and daily habits must be present in every life.

Vowels is about changing lifestyles to save lives—and to honor God's design for our bodies, our families, and His creation. It's about asking better questions, breaking unhealthy cycles, and rebuilding from the ground up.

Faith-Centered Approach

As a Christian-based organization, Vowels believes health is spiritual before it is physical. We are guided by the principles of stewardship, truth, compassion, and discipline. Our work is rooted in the belief that the body is a temple, and that to serve well, we must live well—starting with what we eat, how we care for others, and how we care for the earth.

Our Impact

Educational Backbone

Vowels serves as the educational backbone of a larger mission, providing the knowledge foundation for lasting change.

Snacking Well

Replacing things that nourishes and not fills in schools and workplaces with truly nourishing options.

Community Groceries

Bringing healthy, affordable food into food deserts and proving that access can be both local and equitable.

Beyond Information: Transformation

But Vowels isn't just about information. It's about transformation. It's about restoring truth, rebuilding trust, and reclaiming health as both a personal responsibility and a spiritual calling.

We change lifestyles to rewrite the narrative, to prevent illness, to stop the lies, to heal the people, to heal the planet, and to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Because what we pass down is everything.

Changing the Definition of Normal

At its heart, Vowels exists to change the definition of normal. To remind people—especially in underserved communities—that what they've inherited doesn't have to be what they hand down. It's not about perfection. It's about purpose. It's about the power to choose differently, live intentionally, and build a legacy rooted in truth, faith, and love.
