To direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish and administer a pilot program to provide grants to support Food is Medicine programs, and for other purposes.
HR 10124 establishes a 5-year pilot program (2025-2029) authorizing $20 million to fund community-based "Food is Medicine" programs through competitive grants. These programs directly support individuals with diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, or heart conditions by providing medically tailored meals, grocery delivery, nutrition education, and transportation. The grants prioritize projects using local foods, involving dietitians, and serving urban, rural, tribal, and territorial communities equitably. The program requires annual reports to Congress analyzing participant outcomes, program efficiency, and impacts on health costs and patient health.
