Family HealthCare Network Food Pantry Opens Inside Fresno ACCHealth Center
FHCN’s Third Food Pantry Helps to Address Food Insecurity
FRESNO, CA SEPTEMBER 25, 2024— Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) is excited to announce the opening of our new food pantry on Wednesday, September 25th, located inside of our Fresno health center at 290 N. Wayte Lane. In partnership with Central California Food Bank and CalViva, this food pantry will serve our Fresno ACC patients who struggle with food insecurity and are often unable to access healthy foods.
Our new Fresno ACC food pantry represents the latest effort in Family HealthCare Network’s strategic effort to address the social determinants of health and food insecurity in Fresno County. Because chronic health conditions and long-term health outcomes are significantly impacted by nutrition, this partnership serves as a vital link to the health of our communities. Patients of FHCN’s Fresno ACC health center who report as food insecure will have access to quality dairy products, local fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, and non-perishable foods. The food pantry is set up like a community market, offering our patients a dignified experience that is similar to shopping in a grocery store.
The Fresno ACC food pantry is now open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00am-3:00pm for patients who qualify.
