Food Rx

Clients receive a food prescription when referred by a designated Healthcare Partner or commit to a Community Health Program.

Neighbors receive a food prescription (Food Rx) when referred by a designated Healthcare Partner or when they commit to a Community Health Program that improves their health and well being.

Food Rx neighbors redeem their Food Rx twice a month at Food for Change Markets, where they can select 30 pounds of free fruits and vegetables plus 4 additional healthy items. Due to the pandemic, distribution styles have been modified to maintain safety of clients and Market staff. Nutrition education material will also be available for neighbors to get new ideas for how to prepare their food.

By having increased access to nutritious food, individuals 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.

The Food Rx program partners with healthcare systems, clinics, and organizations that provide health programming to community members. Food Rx is most appropriate for populations who are at-risk for or have chronic diseases or are participating in a health and wellness program. There are two models for partnership: Community Health Program and Healthcare Partner. See more information on the Food Rx fact sheet.
