“In hawaii, food insecurity is a significant issue, with 48% of families with children reporting food insecurity. This situation underscores the critical importance of access to healthy food during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth, postpartum). Proper nutrition is essential for both the mother and the developing baby, impacting birth outcomes and long-term health. Malnutrition during pregnancy and postpartum can lead to serious complications, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and developmental issues for the child. Addressing food insecurity through tailored community programs like farm to mother help ensure that pregnant and postpartum women receive the nutrients they need for a healthy pregnancy and recovery. Pbc is offering free weekly food boxes designed specifically for the perinatal period, with focus on providing nutrition and health support for mothers and their growing babies. This program is in conjunction with the maui food bank and is free and accessible to everyone. The items in our food boxes are curated for children and women during their childbearing years.”
