FoodRx
FoodRx improves health by connecting people to nutritious food through healthcare and community referrals.
Increasing access to nutritious food, at zero-cost to the individual, helps manage their health, eases financial stress, and supports overall well-being.
Learn how the FoodRx program works!
Just as a doctor writes prescriptions for medications, healthcare providers participating in the FoodRx program write prescriptions for nutritious food for eligible neighbors.
What is FoodRx?
Neighbors receive a food prescription (FoodRx) when referred by a designated Healthcare Partner or when they commit to a Community Health Program that improves their health and well-being.
Our FoodRx neighbors can redeem their free FoodRx twice per month at Food For Change Markets. There they will receive 30lbs+ of nutritious food as well as Nutrition Education materials will also be available for neighbors to get new ideas for preparing their food and living healthier lifestyles.
By having increased access to nutritious food, our neighbors can better manage their health while lowering the financial stress of household grocery costs, which can result is improved health outcomes and decreased food insecurity.
