“Significant activities: groceryship is a scholarship for groceries. Our six month program consists of weekly 2 hour meetings where we provide families with access to healthy foods, and a comprehensive program of education and support to empower them to increase health by incorporating more of these nutritious foods into their diets. Families who are awarded groceryships receive weekly support on three levels: (1) educational thorough curriculum focused on nutrition, healthy cooking and shopping skills; (2) economic fresh produce deliveries / gift cards provide access and exposure to nutritious, whole foods; (3) building community support group meetings focused on emotional eating, overcoming food addiction, and building a support network. In 2015, groceryships provided 10 groups to 100 families.”
