Instacart and Wellness West, a coalition of Chicago’s health and safety-net institutions, announced a new partnership to help food-insecurity and chronically ill individuals on the West Side of Chicago. Through the partnership, Wellness West will launch a new “Food Connections” program, which will offer eligible Wellness West members a monthly grocery stipend of $79, delivered through Instacart Health Fresh Funds, that can be used to purchase nutritious foods like fresh and frozen produce for delivery via Instacart. The digital stipend can be combined with other food benefit programs, like SNAP or eligible supplemental health benefits, allowing members to complete their full shop in one order. Wellness West addresses health equity needs of up to 200,000 uninsured and Medicaid-insured patients diagnosed with at least one of six specific medical conditions who live in 10 West Side zip codes. The new Food Connections program with Instacart is one piece of a broader strategy by Wellness West to stabilize hypertension and diabetes among its participant populations.
