Fresh Produce Distribution Program
Provision of fresh produce for multiple FQHCs, hospitals, and private physician practices for 15 weeks at $25/patient /week purchased from local farmers, growers and aggregators. The produce distribution was set up in a farmers market style which allowed the participants to select their own produce and interact with the farmers supplying the produce as well as health facility staff present at the pick up. An educational class (nutrition and culinary skills) was provided directly after the produce pickup for 45 minutes weekly for the first 9 weeks of the program. Laboratory data, HgA1c and lipid profiles were collected pre and post program as well as surveys meant to elicit how the patient progressed over the course of the program. Such information such as food insecurities in the home, knowledge of produce consumption, preparation, and changes in eating habits were elicited via these surveys. An estimated 750 patients were served via this program in 2024.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$194.9KHealth Facility Marketing Package
