Despite recent signs of an improved economy,54,000 Rhode Island households do not have the resources to purchase adequate food. It remains critically important for government programs and community-based organizations to provide increased access to healthy food for these families, with a focus on children and the elderly who are the most severely harmed by hunger.

Grew out of the Fresh to You Market, a program found to be effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption of children from low income families. This program is currently being evaluated in worksites and subsidized housing projects as part of two federally funded research projects. Food on the Move was created to address the major barriers to eating more fruits and vegetables that were identified through a needs assessment in Rhode Island. These barriers include: the high cost of fresh fruits and vegetables, little time to shop due to hectic lifestyles, and limited access to and poor quality of fruits and vegetables in low income neighborhoods. Thegoal is to sustain and extend the Fresh to You Markets using a ‘Robin Hood’ model whereby the profit from sales at worksites will help to cover the cost of bringing the markets into low-income, ‘food desert’ neighborhoods.
