Yesterday was World Food Day???, and this year’s theme hits close to home for us: “Food for a better life and a better future.” According to the @UN, there are 733 million people facing hunger globally, and over 2.8 billion people who can’t afford a healthy diet. We believe everyone should have access to nutritious food to lead a healthy life. And while these numbers are daunting, we can all make an impact if we start working in even one community. At Bento, we are working hard to connect our most vulnerable communities in California and beyond with medically tailored groceries – addressing both food insecurity and chronic health conditions. We’re committed to making nutritious food accessible to all, one grocery order at a time. #WorldFoodDay #FoodAsMedicine
关于我们
Bento’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of all Americans. We are a Social Determinants of Health SMS text messaging platform that connects people experiencing food insecurity with nutritious meals from local restaurants and grocery stores. Bento uses our platform to connect marginalized and under-resourced people with nutritious, stigma-free meals from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. We then further engage participants through this trusted communication channel to identify and address additional needs by connecting them to existing resources like transportation, chronic disease management programs, job training, and other wraparound services to improve health outcomes and quality of life.

The right food curated for an individual's disease risk factors can certainly serve as medicine. In addition, at Bento (gobento.com) we see that the right foods provided to low income community members in a convenient and stigma free way will not only close their nutrition security gap, but can also serve as a powerful bridge needed to connect those community members with critical healthcare services and resources. https://lnkd.in/g2nbEyYz

"It's perplexing to think that the US, one of the wealthiest countries in the world has more than 50 million people on a daily, weekly monthly basis that don't know where their next meal is coming from." -Adam Dole In the latest episode of the AHI Show, I get to sit down with Adam to learn about his inspiring progression from a healthcare-focused upbringing, through his time at #NASA, to spearheading innovative solutions for food insecurity. We talk about the early days and what shaped Bento starting with heartfelt conversations with community members grappling with the lack of access to sufficient food. In addition, we discuss the tough situations faced by numerous Americans eligible for food assistance programs such as #SNAP, yet who still find themselves not registered. Check out this compelling AHI Show episode. It's a must watch! #HumanizingHealthcare #FoodInsecurity #HealthcareInnovation #CommunityTrust
