We’re proud to support the new partnership between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Food is Medicine Coalition! This collaboration expands access to medically tailored meals and groceries for Veterans, addressing food insecurity that is closely tied to chronic illness, depression, and overall health. As a proud FIMC member, we are making a difference for Veterans right here at home. Through partnerships with organizations like Minnesota Veterans 4 Veterans and Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota, we provide medically tailored meals to more than 170 Veterans across Minnesota. Proper nutrition transforms lives, and we’re honored to serve those who have served us. Read the full announcement via the link below:
