Produce Prescription Program

A USDA grant-funded program, the Produce Prescription Program seeks to improve participants' dietary health through increased consumption of easily accessible healthy fruits and vegetables as part of an improved health strategy for low-income, food insecure patients.

Participants must be referred to Southeast Missouri Food Bank by our healthcare partners, assessed as food-insecure, 18 years of age, and a resident of SEMO Food Bank's service-area. Qualified participants must consent to participate in the program and agree to share basic health information and eating habits. Consent must be given before participation can begin and survey completion is optional. Please read SEMO Food Bank's complete Produce Prescription Participant Explanation here.

Surveys:

• Baseline + Self-Reported Healthcare Use Survey
• Post + Self-Reported Healthcare Use Survey
