What are Nutrition Support Services?
Nutrition Support Services provides groceries or cooked meals to ensure people with HIV (PWH) have access to healthy food options. Clients are given access to a registered dietician (RD) who can develop a personalized nutrition plan that considers their unique health needs and improves their overall quality of life.
What is the goal of Nutrition Support Services?
The goal of Nutrition Support Services is to improve and sustain your health, nutrition, food security, and quality of life.
What services can I access through Nutrition Support Services?
Nutrition Support Services include two types of programs:
- Home-delivered meals are provided for PWH who have physical or emotional difficulties related to HIV/AIDS that prevent them from preparing healthy meals for themselves
- Food bank/pantry services provide food, groceries, nutritional supplements, and other miscellaneous items for PWH
