One Bright Day Market is the foundation’s vehicle to address and fix the health and nutrition crisis many communities face. The market is a natural food subsidy program and health education center that provides area residents with the opportunity to purchase naturally produced foods at subsidized prices. Money generated from the sale of products is used to support the foundation's educational programs. The market offers nutritional consultation with registered dieticians, cooking classes that use natural foods, and lectures featuring doctors and health care professionals. In-store demonstrations of products help people learn new tastes and textures while also allowing them to feel more comfortable purchasing and preparing natural and organic foods.

In the Market

• Signs are hung throughout promoting the benefits of Comprehensive Community Building, of which OBD Foundation is an example.

• In-store samples of natural and organically produced food products are provided for people to taste in addition to learning the differences between organically produced foods and their conventional counterpart.

OBD Foundation believes there is not enough information available to consumers on how to eat a well-balanced natural diet. Area residents are consistently directed to purchase products containing refined ingredients like white sugar and white flour which don't provide them with important minerals and nutrients; possibly leading to low energy illness. Faced with personal budget limitations, many people are often corralled into these products because of the comparatively lower cost of production. OBD addresses this problem by making practical health and nutrition information accessible to these community members. In addition, One Bright Day visitors can purchase organically produced food at prices comparable to those they currently buy. Also, the foundation distributes budgeted meal plans and provides cooking classes to help people feel more comfortable using natural products.
