Improved Quality of Life
At the conclusion of our pilot project, 30% reported a decline in unhealthy days meaning health-related quality of life improved.
Improved quality of life is associated with a reduction in healthcare costs.
Improving health
Providing reliable access to quality, healthy food leads to better nutrition, and ultimately to better health. Improved health means lower healthcare costs.
According to Feeding America, an estimated $52.9 billion in health care expenses were associated with food insecurity in the United States. Unfortunately, these numbers are expected to rise.
