The Food Rx program was a project run in collaboration between FoodShare and the University Health Network (UHN), supported by the McConnell Foundation, Medavie and Arrell Family Foundation, aimed at addressing food needs that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic by connecting folks with a ‘prescription’ for regular home delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as regular wellness check-ins from FoodShare staff.
