Gorge Grown Food Network has received a grant to launch a new program to provide vouchers that low income families can redeem at local farmers’ markets and some grocery stores for fresh fruit and vegetables.  The $20,000 grant comes from a subfund of the Oregon Community Foundation, with several local healthcare providers providing matching funds for the fresh produce vouchers.  Under the Veggie Prescription program, healthcare and social service providers will identify those dealing with food insecurity through a questionnaire, and then can write a “prescription” that can be filled at farmers’ markets and grocery stores in the Gorge for fresh foods.  A Columbia Gorge Coordinated Care Organization Community Advisory Council survey found some who receive food stamps or other help are still not able to access fresh fruit and vegetables.
