What's the FoodRx program looking to do?
The aim of this program is to support adults with type 2 diabetes who are experiencing food insecurity.

There are 2 groups in this program:​

Group 1: Healthy Food Prescription
You get a one time healthy food prescription

Group 2: Weekly Healthy Food Incentive
You get a one time healthy food prescription and a weekly healthy food incentive for 12 months

Why are we doing this?
The cost of food is HIGH.

This is especially true for healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables. With the increasing cost of living, more and more people in Canada are experiencing food insecurity.
Food insecurity is not having enough money to afford the foods you need or like. Food insecurity is also worrying about not being able to afford the foods you need or like.

​Food insecurity is a pretty serious issue in Canada and affects a lot of people – the latest numbers say over 4 million Canadians are food insecure right now.  

Food insecurity is a big challenge for people with type 2 diabetes who are trying to manage their blood sugars. Click here to find out how you can participate.​
