The stress of an empty fridge or bare cupboards can be insurmountable, both physically and emotionally. Rx Food is built on a combination of lived experience (those of us that have experienced food insecurity at some point in our lives) and innovative partnerships (those of us that believe creative problem solving can happen across sectors), and we are working together to feed our community by increasing access to healthy food within a patient’s primary care regime.
No one should go hungry. We know this, but still struggle to find solutions that can feed us all. Rx Food empowers doctors and other health care practitioners to get at the root of hunger and its widespread effects, by providing monthly good food prescriptions to patients that identify with one or both of the above questions.
Please reach out to us for more information on this exciting community partnership!
Rx Food envisions a community where everyone has access to fresh, local, and affordable culturally-appropriate food, regardless of their circumstance, so we work with committed, forward-thinking health care practitioners, who prescribe food as medicine to their patients.
