Produce Prescription Program

The Produce Prescription Program (aka, Produce Rx or PRx) allows medical professionals to prescribe fresh fruit and vegetables to food insecure patients diagnosed with a diet-related chronic illness. DC Greens’ PRx program provides eligible Medicaid recipients with monthly funds to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating grocery stores. This program takes a food-is-medicine (FIM) approach by integrating produce prescriptions into the health care system. To learn more about the impact of Produce Rx as a FIM intervention and how you can get involved, please click here to view or download our the DC Greens’ PRx one-pager.

WANDA is building a movement of a million women and girls of African descent to become food sheroes in their communities through education, advocacy, and innovation by 2030. We are excited to announce our partnership with WANDA to deliver a free, nutrition education series.
