Medically Tailored Groceries and Food Resource Coaching

Patients will meet with a food resource coach who will explain basic coaching principles including how to respond to financial crises, how to access various food resources, and the importance of consistent utilization of food resources. After the coaching session, the food resource coach will help patients select medically tailored groceries from the free community food market inventory.

Usual services include selecting up to 21 meals for each person in the household from Crossroads nutritious market once per month (e.g., approximately 100 pounds \[$250 United States dollars\] of food for a family of four)

A pantry staff member helps patients select medically tailored groceries (MTG) from the free community food market inventory by prepopulating MTG in their pantry cart.
