NTFB operated its Food 4 Health program from 2015-2019. The program focused on providing nutrition education and healthful food access to patients at local health clinics and faith-based health ministries to address chronic illness among food insecure clients. Participants were screened for food insecurity and referred into the program and as a result were able to receive fresh produce, additional nutritious, nonperishable food items, nutrition education and recipes for 3 months at their clinic, through a 12-week program.
Although our Food 4 Health program was phased out after its 5-year pilot, we wanted to create a handbook for any clinics or agencies that desired to replicate the program model within their respective organization.
We want to thank all of our Food 4
Health partners and champions for
their partnership and support of the
program.
We hope that this guide
assists you, as you continue to
combat food insecurity among those
that are hungry and dealing with
chronic illness in your community.
Sincerely,
The NTFB team
