Clinically Guided Nutrition
Registered Dietitians tailor every box to support chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiac issues, and more.
Fast, Statewide Delivery
From farm to doorstep in 48 hours. Our network of local growers supports both freshness and sustainability.
Healthcare and Real-World Nutrition
Project FoodBox was born out of the USDA’s “Farmers to Families” program and has since delivered millions of nutritious food boxes—over 55 million pounds—to families and seniors in need across California and beyond.
Food Insecurity Undermines Health
Many communities face chronic conditions made worse by a lack of access to healthy food. Traditional care plans can’t solve what starts at the kitchen table.
Project FoodBox steps in by assisting local food banks with medically tailored grocery delivery that supports the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Food as Medicine, Delivered Weekly
Our team of registered dietitians customizes each box to meet specific health needs. Great-tasting frozen meals and fresh produce are sourced locally, packed with care, and delivered directly to the member’s home—ensuring quality, compliance, and nutrition every step of the way.
