Summary

This study gave 40 low-income families in rural Maine free meal kits with 10 healthy meals per week for 4 weeks, plus a cooking app. Researchers wanted to see if this was practical and if it could reduce stress, improve family life, and boost nutrition. The goal was to learn whether such a program could help ease the emotional toll of food insecurity on both parents and children.
