Through This First-of-its-Kind Program, Eligible Families Will Receive Prepaid Debit Cards to Address Food Insecurity and Enable the Purchase of Healthy Food
Boston, MA – About Fresh, a company dedicated to advancing social innovation at the intersection of food and healthcare systems, today announced a partnership with No Kid Hungry, a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. Through About Fresh’s Fresh Connect program, participants will receive a prepaid debit card to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, which can be used wherever the participant shops. With a focus in rural communities, this program seeks to improve access to fruits and vegetables for households with children aged 3- 17 who are members of any Medicaid Health plan and who live in, or whose healthcare provider is in Washington, Tangipahoa, St. Helena, St. Landry, Acadia, or Lafayette parishes. There are no income guidelines for eligibility. No Kid Hungry is the first Louisiana area organization to offer the Fresh Connect program for families.
