The Farm Share Assistance (FSA) program collects produce from small local farms and distributes it to underserved families at no cost and provides guaranteed markets and revenue to these small farms, as well as technical assistance, helping to ensure their growth and success. Trinity Health will complete a formal evaluation of the program by assessing impacts on food insecurity, healthy behaviors, and local farming/food infrastructure; preparing methods to assess longer-term health improvements; providing data for policy changes in payer reimbursement and healthy food programs; and conducting a regional assessment to prepare for expansion.
