Who wants free fruits and veggies??? The next session of VeggieRx is filling up fast!

Veggie Rx is now accepting participants for the next free 12-week Shawnee program starting in May. Eligible participants can enroll to receive a prescription for up to $25 per week to spend on fresh fruit and vegetables! Participants must attend one orientation session and do lab work to start the program. Prescriptions can be redeemed at any FireLake Discount Foods location. After completing the 12-week program, participants will visit SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital - Shawnee to do post-lab work to measure their health results.
