The service addressed key population- health nutrition needs by increasing access to fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and by providing healthier alternatives to highly processed foods, meats, and oils. Participants received weekly, free-choice prescriptions through mobile and pop-up markets staffed by trained community health workers offering trauma-informed support. Each household selected foods that met their familys preferences and needs for the week. In 2024, we served more than 375 families with over 13,000 prescriptions and invested approximately $1.5 million in local farms and food businesses. In 2024, Caja Solidaria offered Essential Utility Assistance and Healthy Home Goods as wraparound supports for our Food Is Medicine participants. Caja developed these services in response to community-identified needs that affect the success of nutrition interventions. We distributed $34,000 in utility assistance to 66 families at risk of losing access to water, gas, or electricity, and provided $77,000 in home-safety supplies to 108 families. Items such as air filters, humidifiers, non-toxic cleaning products, and hypoallergenic bedding helped ensure that living environments supported participants overall health and stability. In 2024, Caja Solidaria advanced the development of our Resilience Hub model, which integrates community support, engagement, and nutrition programs to strengthen household and neighborhood well-being. Through this model, we shared supplies and provided limited direct assistance for urgent household needs identified by participants. We also supported three Community Engagement Circles, where participants organized around shared interests related to health and wellbeing, including culturally relevant nutrition, financial literacy, parenting education, and physical activity. These peer-led efforts built social connection and community capacity, laying the groundwork for our farm-based resilience hub in 2025. 2314295 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NC X X Christina Schnabel 8287720793 616 Crystal Dr Hendersonville NC 28791 Sonya Jones Departing Executive Director 40.00 X 16428 0 0 Christina Schnabel Co-Executive Director 40.00 X 77708 0 0 Maria Harding Co-Executive Director 40.00 X 60928 0 0 Amy Landers Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott McDonald Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea Larsen Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Julie Haverstock Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Harry Fleischer Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 155064 0 0 false false false 524031 524031 Produce Buying Co-Operative 115114 2928 0 0 Healthy Opportunities Pilot 115114 2557931 0 0 2560859 12 0 12 3461 -3461 -3461 0 0 -3461 Miscellaneous Income 999999 1991 0 0 1991 1991 3083432 2560859 0 -1458 145694 145694 30341 23363 6068 910 605256 466046 121052 18158 52074 40097 10415 1562 5700 5700 0 0 1482 344 1138 0 10318 5325 4993 0 44045 44045 0 0 26341 26341 0 0 13363 13363 0 0 17179 8656 8523 0 Farm Harvest Procurement 1508004 1508004 0 0 Program Equipment & Supplies 13199 13199 0 0 Event Expense 4307 4307 0 0 Training 8701 8701 0 0 2153 1110 1043 0 2488157 2314295 153232 20630 145265 563226 88157 169042 4799 1467 91965 20409 52023 71556 2825 3100 293069 808391 8048 26179 456 456 98084 106588 26635 X 159761 731581 26720 50175 186481 781756 293069 808391 595275 X false false false X 0 173401 408374 524031 1105806 0 0 173401 408374 524031 1105806 170347 935459 12 12 0 1991 1991 1107809 3685633 X 0 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Credit Card Rewards 2024: 1991.
