Overview

Mission

The purpose of Healthy Spark is to provide an otherwise unavailable Kosher meat option for students at Vanderbilt University and the surrounding Nashville area. This allows customers to maintain a Jewish connection on campus and have warm interactions with a Jewish organization.

What it reported doing in 2025

We served approximately 5500 students with a total of 12254 transactions in the 2024 fiscal year and intend to continue growing in our service and impact.
