Summary

This study is expanding a mobile food pantry that delivers fresh and traditional foods to Wabanaki communities in Maine. Researchers want to see if better access to these foods can improve food security and health-related quality of life. About 500 adults who are members of a Wabanaki community will take part. The program is community-led and focuses on cultural connection and food sovereignty.
