Produce Pop Ups in partnership with Anthem®
ccording to the USDA, half of every meal you eat should be made up of fruits and vegetables. However, many families have a difficult time easily accessing fresh fruits and vegetables. Freestore Foodbank is working to change this. Produce Pop Ups in partnership with Anthem® bring a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with the option to add other items such as bread, to communities in need. These 1 day “Pop Ups” provide valuable access to fresh items and can be hosted by community organizations, churches and/or schools. If you are interested in hosting please reach out, spots are limited and fill up quickly.
Clinic Pantries
The Rubber Duck FAMILY (Food as Medicine in Low-Income Youth) Market is a pilot initiative of Freestore Foodbank and Hopple Street Neighborhood Health Center of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center with support from the Bob Edwards Fund. As part of their visit, each patient is screened for food insecurity. If a patient screens positive, they are provided with a supply of shelf-stable food from the in-clinic pantry.
