Summary
The purpose of the Maternal Produce Prescription Program (MP3) is to support community- based organizations to develop produce prescription intervention programs that promote access to healthy foods for pregnant and post-partum women and their families in low-income and underserved areas. The program will:
• Create community-based produce prescription programs.
• Provide nutrition education to maternal populations.
• Build and strengthen community partnerships to increase access to healthy foods.
• Demonstrate improvements in fruit and vegetable intake, household food security, and health outcomes.
Projects are expected to provide produce prescription programs (which may use vouchers or physical prescriptions) as well as nutrition education for eligible participants.
Projects are expected to partner with at least one healthcare provider and at least one community- based organization.
