Together, we’re building a Boston where everyone has a seat at the table. To the families who trust us to bring fresh produce to their neighborhoods, to our donors and supporters who make our mission possible, and to our dedicated team who work tirelessly to spread the love—thank you. You inspire us every day to dream bigger and work harder.

"The problem, however, is that people count on this money and farmers grow crops anticipating the business...Grocery prices have risen in recent years. A program that helps families buy healthy food while boosting local agriculture is one worth supporting — with consistent and predictable funding."?Thank you to the Editorial Team at The Boston Globe?for supporting the full funding of the Healthy Incentives Program! https://lnkd.in/ea_w4JMx

?? Mass General Brigham’s "Food is Medicine" - What Does it Mean for Healthcare? ?? Mass General Brigham is tackling chronic disease by recognizing food as a crucial part of patient care. Led by Elsie Taveras, Lauren Fiechtner, and Priscilla Wang, this pioneering initiative addresses food insecurity and encourages providers to view nutrition as essential as any other treatment. ?? Program Highlights: Holistic approach: "Food is Medicine" screens for food insecurity and connects patients to community resources, such as food pantries, teaching kitchens, and cooking classes. Key partners include the The Greater Boston Food Bank, About Fresh, Community Servings, and many more. Community impact: Programs like the “Fresh Truck” deliver fresh foods to underserved areas, while the MGH Revere Food Pantry offers plant-based options and nutrition classes to families in need. Research-driven: Studies by Drs. Taveras and Fiechtner demonstrate improved health outcomes, including lowered BMI in children receiving regular plant-based foods. By addressing food as a vital component of health, Mass General Brigham is redefining how we approach chronic disease prevention and treatment. ??????????

The Healthy Incentive Program (HIP) - one of the best food benefit programs in the country - is at risk of being cut in half in December. This will impact millions of Massachusetts families during the holiday season and small farms and mobile markets across the commonwealth. ?? We are calling on our network to support the Campaign for HIP Funding's ask to the Governor and legislature to dedicate an additional $10 million to HIP (line item 4400-1004) in a future fiscal year 2025 supplemental budget to avoid this programmatic change. ??

We strongly support #universalschoolmeals and this Last Week Tomight with John Oliver really explains why the research backs us up! ??????????
