LifePlate, co-founded by Christopher and Deana Young, is a plant-forward meal delivery company serving homes, offices, and schools. The company offers fresh, hot lunch delivery to students through a monthly subscription model with customizable features for dietary and scheduling needs. LifePlate also provides ready-to-eat meal deliveries and hosts in-person and virtual cooking experiences and demonstrations.

LifePlate developed its school lunch delivery into a monthly subscription model, making it easier for busy parents to ensure their students receive nutritious, plant-forward meals. In 2024, LifePlate created a nonprofit called LifePlate Cares, with a mission to bridge health disparities in underserved communities by providing meals, cooking demonstrations, workshops, tasting events, and summer camp initiatives for children in economically disadvantaged areas.

LifePlate is the recipient of the 2025 Business Growth Award. This award recognizes the fastest-growing business on the 2025 Inner City 100 Awards list. Selection and ranking are based on percentage revenue growth from 2020 through 2024.
