Instacart has rolled out a new pilot program and research initiative with The Rockefeller Foundation, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and The University of Syracuse to better understand the effect of medically tailored groceries on military veterans. The need for such a program is clear, as one in six military and veteran families (16%) experience food insecurity or hunger, higher than the national average (12%), and U.S. veterans develop chronic health conditions at disproportionately higher rates than the general population.
