Summary
This study tested three ways to help older adults (65+) get more fruits and vegetables: a voucher for a mobile market, home delivery of a produce box, or home delivery of meal kit ingredients. Over 12 weeks, 168 participants in Buffalo, NY received weekly food support. The goal was to see which method works best and how often people use it.
