Farm Fresh RI, DEM, OHA Make Food Boxes Available to Seniors

January 19, 2023

The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) Division of Agriculture upgrades its Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) bulk purchase pilot program to provide an estimated 12,800 boxes of fresh RI food to eligible seniors. We are proud to partner with DEM and the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging (OHA) to ensure more seniors have access to fresh, local food. After the successful pilot of 2021, we look forward to working with more small growers across the state to pack boxes full of a variety of local produce. We thoughtfully source items from a variety of local growers and deliver boxes packed with fresh produce directly to senior centers — feeding people in need right where they are, while keeping the journey food takes through the supply chain short.
