Read MorePatients are referred by their physicians to our weekly, farmers’ market-style pantries, located right at the clinics where they receive medical care. At the Food Pharmacies, patients can enhance their cooking skills through cooking demonstrations, receive nutrition and health tips, undergo health screenings, and get referrals to other food assistance services. By working with both healthcare providers and patients, we are building knowledge and connections that can improve health for years to come.
We distributed
50,000+ meals
