Review for Vouchers 4 Veggies - EatSF, San Francisco, CA, USA
As a dietitian at a community health center, I see a lot of patients with chronic conditions who face many psychosocial barriers including food insecurity. Partnering with EatSF Vouchers4Veggies over the last year has been one of the best parts of my job because not only has this program helped our patients access healthy food, it has also aided in improving health and clinical outcomes (e.g. lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and BMI).
The vouchers are simple and easy to use and patients look forward to picking them or getting them in the mail every month. I have patients tell me they've not only increased their intake of fruits and vegetables, but their family's as well. I believe the impact of this program will have a long lasting effect on participants' healthy lifestyle changes.
