Wholesome Wave
Wholesome Wave is a National Organization working to increase affordable access to fruits and vegetables for people who struggle with hunger. Their program, "Wholesome Rx," is a produce prescription program, allowing Doctors to prescribe the fruits and vegetables needed to prevent diet-related diseases for people who need it most, from seniors, to mothers & children in Los Angeles! These prescriptions can be redeemed for fresh produce at participating markets and grocery stores. In addition, for those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) this program doubles the value of SNAP dollars to make fruits and vegetables affordable. For example, when a person spends $10 in SNAP, she receives an additional $10 to spend only on fruits and vegetables.
