finding affordable housing, or earning a decent wage.
​HEART nourishes neighbors with healthy nutritious food, stabilizing families today,
while helping them connect to life-building community resources for tomorrow,
so they can flourish for a lifetime.

Healthy Food Matters
Healthy nutritious foods can lead to improved health outcomes & mitigated healthcare costs
Doctors prescribe fresh produce instead of pills to fight diabetes.
(Columbus Dispatch: Logan County Medical Practice’s preferred prescription is produce, not pills)
HEART is part of Mid-Ohio Farmacy, welcoming neighbors in Franklin County with a doctor’s prescription to shop for fresh produce once a week.

HEART serves hungry, food insecure neighbors who live below 200% of the poverty line.
