Fidelis Care Distributes Free Fruits and Vegetables at ‘Veggies to Go’ Event in Monroe County

Fidelis Care gave away 200 bags of fresh produce at a recent “Veggies to Go” event at the Webster Town Recreation Center in Monroe County.

Veggies to Go is a Fidelis Care program that provides free fruits and vegetables to individuals and families to promote nutrition and address food insecurity in communities across New York State. Fidelis Care works with local farmers to offer the food.

Addressing Food Insecurity in Upstate NY

“Food insecurity is an issue facing every community,” said Jennifer Lyons, Director, Sales and Marketing. 

“The Webster Town Recreation Center supports many seniors and families, and is such an important resource to the community. They are great partners, rolling up their sleeves and helping us pack all of this food. We are grateful to the center for their support and for the opportunity to get healthy food into the hands of people who need it.”

Since its debut in August 2022, Veggies to Go has provided more than 23,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables across New York State.
