Summary

This study gives 250 low-income families in Indianapolis a weekly box of healthy foods like meat, milk, fruits, and vegetables for a year. Researchers will check if children's diet quality, food security, and mental health improve compared to families not getting the boxes. The goal is to see if this simple support can help kids eat better and feel more secure.
