About NourishRx
We believe access to nutritious food can play an important role in supporting health outcomes, managing chronic conditions, and improving overall well-being. NourishRx brings together the power of food, healthcare, and community resources to help make nutritious food more accessible to the people and communities who need it most.
Through our NourishRx work, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin partners with healthcare organizations and community partners to explore how food access can be incorporated into broader efforts to improve health outcomes.
Our Vision
As a food bank serving communities across Eastern Wisconsin, our strongest contribution to Food as Medicine efforts is our food infrastructure.
We leverage our expertise and resources in food procurement, sourcing, packing, and distribution to make nutritious food available to the populations and communities that need it most.
This can include working with healthcare and community partners to connect people with food as part of a broader approach to health and wellness.
NourishRx reflects our belief that addressing food insecurity and improving health can go hand-in-hand.
Partner With Us
Food access is just one piece of the larger picture when it comes to health. Meaningful Food as Medicine efforts require collaboration among healthcare organizations, community-based organizations, and food access partners.
We believe our role is strongest when we bring our food expertise and infrastructure together with partners who provide clinical care, education, enrollment, evaluation, and other services.
By connecting these areas of expertise, we can help create stronger pathways between healthcare, nutritious food, and community resources.
Efforts In Action
NourishRx is not just about food access – it’s about improving health outcomes and advancing equity. By aligning food resources with healthcare pathways and community-driven solutions, NourishRx works to remove barriers to access, provide culturally-specific nutrition, and empower individuals and families to make lasting, healthy choices. Together, these efforts strengthen the link between food security and overall wellness.
