Nourish Florida is Feeding Florida’s statewide Food is Health model, designed to connect Floridians who are living with chronic diseases to essential health resources. Through our unified network of nine member food banks, we provide medically supportive food, nutrition education, and comprehensive benefits support.
Florida food banks have implemented and refined multiple Food is Health programs over the past decade, including food pharmacies/ pantries embedded in care settings, produce prescription-style programs, maternal health food delivery, and chronic condition support models that pair food with education and navigation.
Our adaptable programming is designed to support chronic disease management of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, chronic kidney disease, malnutrition, as well as pre and post-natal nutritional needs. By focusing on early indicators of behavior change—such as awareness, confidence, and intention—Nourish Florida is moving the needle toward a healthier future for all Floridians.
