My Nonprofit Reviews

Patients who receive the Vouchers 4 Veggies, love the program. They are engaging in their medical care and can also attest to the benefits of the program. They find that they are able to use the vouchers for fruits and vegetables that they would have limited. This in return is helping them invest in their health and well being. Patients mentioned how they didn't realize how spending the $20 or $40 per month could impact them, but with these vouchers they could see the difference. With the increasing cost of rent and food, patients who are on fixed incomes can feel the difference of the $20 or $40. Patients are so grateful for this program and only speak highly of it.

By offering EatSF at our clinic, I was personally able to hear about how it impacted patients' health. Families have expressed how it influenced them make healthier choices by having an allocated amount to spend on fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits. Patients who have never been to their local farmers' market due to uncertainty of how to shop for produce and high prices were able to use their vouchers to buy seasonal produce and continue to go after the program's completion. Patients mentioned how EatSF vouchers alleviated food budget constraints by not needing to choose between spending money for food or paying for household necessities. Families who had received the promotional vouchers found them beneficial during unforeseen situations. Patients do not want this program to stop and I would love for it to be expanded for use for the entire city. It was a token of kindness that was warmly received by all and hopefully it can continue to impact many more.
