Fruit & Vegetable Prescription

Fresh Produce Prescriptions

Connecting Food with Health & Wellness

Fruit & Vegetable Prescription is a collaboration between CCFB and our local healthcare partners. Fruit & Vegetable Prescription provides food-insecure households and individuals in Chester County with greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables, increasing participants’ consumption of fresh produce and overall well-being. The program also advocates for and educates on food as medicine.

How It Works

Fruit & Vegetable participants can redeem their prescription by:

Fresh2You Mobile Market

Chester County Food Bank’s Fresh2You Mobile Market carries a wide variety of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Shop with your prescription at any Fresh2You mobile market location every week (June – November). You also have the option to purchase dry goods, spice blends, eggs, and honey with cash, credit, or SNAP/EBT. We also offer cooking demonstrations and taste tests!

Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Partners

Fresh2You accepts Fruit & Vegetable Prescription as a form of payment. Through their healthcare provider at these locations, food-insecure patients can redeem prescriptions for fruits and vegetables weekly, at any Fresh2You Mobile Market location. Fruit & Vegetable Prescription works in partnership with local health care providers and current patients.

If you are a current patient at one of the partners below, ask about Fruit & Vegetable Prescription, at your next scheduled visit. Questions? Contact Kale Doughty, Senior Manager of Food Access & Education at 610-873-6000 x131 or by email.

Nearly 500 kids participated in our cooking, wellness, & gardening classes.
