Calif. Food is Medicine Program Poised to Leap

The Alameda County Community Food Bank is set to double its Food is Medicine program capacity following a $300,000 multi-year investment from Blue Shield of California. This corporate sponsorship, part of a larger $600,000 state-wide initiative, highlights the growing reliance on diverse funding streams to sustain nutrition-based healthcare interventions.
