How can you start your healthy food journey if you don’t know where to start or have trouble finding nutritious options? Many of us may experience food insecurity or find it difficult to control our diet due to long-term health issues. Numerous services are available to assist, like Project FoodBox and Meals on Wheels by Sourcewise.
Project FoodBox helps qualifying Medi-Cal recipients receive medically tailored, fresh, and nutritious food every week, delivered directly to their homes at no cost. Project FoodBox’s goal is to reduce food insecurity by providing recipients with a tailored diet specific to their chronic conditions. This is achieved by sourcing from local farms, designing customized food boxes to address specific health needs, and delivering food to underserved communities. You can fill out a form at projectfoodbox.org/contact or call (408) 426-8544.
Meals on Wheels by Sourcewise delivers nutritious meals to individuals regardless of economic status. Recipients of the program must meet specific qualifications, such as being 60 years of age or older, being homebound, and being a resident of Santa Clara County.
