Produce prescription
Participants randomized to this arm will receive $10 worth of fruits and vegetables from Help Our People Eat (H.O.P.E) of Winston Salem each week. H.O.P.E is a local non-profit that distributes nutritious meals and fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods throughout Forsyth County to help families with FI. H.O.P.E also collaborates with local farmers to provide a Neighborhood Produce Market that provides low-cost produce. Participants will have the produce delivered to their home each week for 3 months.
Medically tailored meals
Medically-tailored meals will be provided by Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. During the 3 months, participants will receive 10 medically-tailored refrigerated or frozen meals (5 lunches and 5 dinners) delivered to their home weekly. All meals are planned by a registered dietitian. Meals have minimal preparation time, can be heated by stove, oven, or microwave. Because the meals are medically-tailored, participants are asked not to share them.
