I'm confronting these challenges and expanding access to nutrition through Food is Medicine programs.
Support and advance Food is Medicine legislation to expand access to nutritious food through programs like produce prescriptions, food pantries, culinary education, and medically tailored meals.
Occurrences
Through this legislation, I’m committed to expanding access to nutritious foods for everyone.
Evidence
The official House press release says Robin Kelly and Jen Kiggans introduced the FOOD for Health Act to support Food is Medicine programs. It says the bill would expand access through produce prescriptions, on-site food pantries, culinary education, and medically tailored meals.
Assessments
Kelly took concrete same-term action on the promise by introducing the bipartisan FOOD for Health Act in March 2026, and the bill directly matched the promise's stated Food is Medicine mechanisms, including produce prescriptions, food pantries, culinary education, and medically tailored meals. That shows real support and legislative advancement attributable to her. But the available evidence shows introduction and advocacy, not enactment or a completed policy change that actually expanded access through federal law or program implementation, so this falls short of full delivery.
