Food Leads is partnering with Produce Perks Midwest to offer our meal kits to neighbors who meet eligibility criteria for the TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) program.

Eligible families will receive a meal kit delivered to their home every week for 16 weeks.

Food Leads meal kits are diabetic friendly, heart healthy, and flavorful! While our meals focus on being chronic disease friendly, they are also great for anyone wanting to improve their overall nutrition, increase consumption of fresh fruits & vegetables, try new recipes, or merely have the convenience of a meal kit!

Each meal kit contains enough servings to feed a family of 4.

Benefits:

  • Fresh, locally sourced produce from Columbus area farms

  • Pre-portioned ingredients

  • Accessible & affordable for everyone

  • Diabetic & heart healthy recipes

If you are interested in receiving our meal kits through the TANF Fruit & Vegetable Program, follow these steps:

  • Review the eligibility criteria HERE to see if you are eligible.

  • If you meet the eligibility criteria, click on the button below to provide your contact information to Food Leads. We will screen your address to be sure you are within the delivery area.

  • If you are within our delivery area, we will contact you to complete the application to join the program through Produce Perks. Once they confirm your eligibility, they will contact you to add you to the distribution schedule.

  • The number of spots is limited each 16 weeks. If you sign up but we are currently full for enrollment, we will add you to our waiting list. We will contact you when we have an open spot & then can enroll you in the program if you still meet eligibility criteria.

Important Delivery Notes:

  • There will be an approximate 2 week delay after you have been approved for enrollment before you receive your first meal kit delivery.

  • Deliveries will occur on Thursday afternoon/evenings for 16 weeks.

  • Meal kits will be packed with a cold pack and left on your door step if you are not home.

  • Deliveries will be completed by Door Dash. Door Dash will send you a text reminder before the delivery each week.

  • You must notify Produce Perks if you move while enrolled in the program. We will need to reconfirm your new address is within our delivery area. We can then arrange for the meals to be delivered to your new address.
