💬 What does it mean to have a hot, healthy meal when you're hungry? Senator Mark Warner joined Dorren Brown, OCFC Executive Director, and other community partners at the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in Charlottesville to spotlight food insecurity in Orange County and across Central Virginia.

OCFC is stepping up with its new Food Pharmacy Program, built on the belief that Food is Medicine. Thanks to a new partnership with the BRAFB, patients at the Clinic are receiving thoughtfully selected food—nutritious groceries that meet their health needs and help them feel better.

This program doesn’t replace Orange County’s irreplaceable Food Pantries, but adds a layer of support for patients with chronic conditions who often face empty pantry cabinets.

Plans are underway to grow, as funding is available, the small space carved out at the Clinic and reach even more patients during their clinic visits...From food to education, we’re working to help patients feel better... starting with what’s on their plate.❤️👩🏻‍⚕️
