The purpose of Comfort Food Community’s produce prescription programming is to improve health outcomes related to chronic illness and food/nutrition insecurity by connecting eligible participants with vouchers to spend on fresh, nutritious foods by local producers, and by providing education related to nutrition, skills building, and resource sharing.

Comfort Food Community
Produce Prescription Program

What

A 5-month nutrition incentive and education program intended
to connect participants with fresh, locally sourced produce and nutrition education. Participants receive five, $5 vouchers ($25) in the mail five times for a total of $125.

When

Enrollment begins in April 2025 and is open while supplies last. $25 in vouchers once per month to spend on produce, dairy, meats, and other eligible items from participating vendors throughout Washington County.

Who

Glens Falls Hospital is the primary screening and referral partner for this program. While the focus is on Medicaid, Medicare, and Essential Plan members, insurance type and provider are not current eligibility factors for this program. Eligibility is determined by screening positively for food insecurity and identifying the presence or risk for a chronic health condition. 

How

Designated partners in Glens Falls Hospital care management program, clinical nutrition programs, and cancer center program will screen and refer patients to CFC for enrollment in the program.
