ABOUT NY FRESH RX

What is NY Fresh Rx?

NY Fresh Rx is a produce prescription program designed to help participants improve their overall health and well-being through increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. We will provide FREE boxes of fruits and vegetables to participants. What's more, all of the produce is grown locally, right here on Long Island, NY, which helps support our local food system.
