Proteus, Inc. is thrilled to announce that a generous contribution from Prairie Meadows will allow us to continue our PASO program, bringing fresh produce to an additional 22 farmworker families facing food insecurity. This funding ensures that families who might otherwise struggle to access fresh produce can receive the nutrition they need to support their health and well-being.
What is PASO?
PASO is a Proteus, Inc. program that delivers fresh produce to farmworkers with chronic health conditions who live in food deserts. Many farmworkers work long hours in demanding jobs yet struggle to access fresh, healthy food. PASO helps by delivering nutritious produce directly to their families.
Why is PASO Needed?
Farmworkers are essential to our food system, but many face food insecurity. Grocery stores with affordable, fresh produce are often miles away, making healthy food difficult to access. Chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure are common, making proper nutrition even more important. PASO helps fill this gap by providing fresh fruit to those who need it most.
How Does Prairie Meadows’ Contribution Make a Difference?
Thanks to Prairie Meadows’ support, PASO can continue for another round, reaching 22 more families. This means dozens of individuals will gain access to fresh produce that supports better health. Contributions like this allow Proteus to expand its reach and strengthen its impact on the farmworker community.
How Can You Support PASO?
Proteus relies on the generosity of donors and community partners to sustain programs like PASO. If you would like to help farmworkers access fresh, nutritious food, consider making a donation or signing up for our newsletter to stay informed about our work!
