(Minneapolis – May 12, 2016) — A unique local consortium is teaming up with the goal of improving diets of low income families, one bite and measurement at a time. With the aim of making it easier to access healthy foods through the combination of financial support, health benefits, and technology, the Minnesota Hunger Initiative (MNHI) – originally convened by Greater Twin Cities United Way – is partnering with Medica Research Institute, Solutran and the University of Minnesota Extension. MNHI officials have outlined the multi-pronged approach: Build upon the success of the 2014 and 2015 program in which low income families were provided access to the Healthy Savings® program provided by Solutran to buy discounted produce and other healthy foods that resulted in changed eating habits; tap into the expertise of University of Minnesota Extension staff to educate families and individuals about how to shop for and prepare healthy foods; and leverage the expertise of investigators at the Medica Research Institute to measure and analyze program outcomes. During the current 12-week Healthy Savings campaign that began in February, participants get up to $20 in free fresh fruits and vegetables each week. They receive additional savings on other nutritious staples such as eggs, lean meats, milk, whole grain bread, yogurt, and more.
