Advancing North Shore Community Health Through Ocean-raised and faRm-grown Foods (ANCHOR Study) (ANCHOR)
8. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: Tufts University
This study is testing a new way to support healthy eating by providing free meal kits through a food pantry.
Adults who use The Open Door food pantry will receive meal kits that include fresh produce, seafood, and other ingredients, along with simple recipes and optional cooking demonstrations, over a 3-month period.
The goal is to learn whether these meal kits are helpful, easy to use, and a good fit for the community.
Researchers will also look at whether they help improve access to healthy foods, diet quality, and confidence with cooking.
Participants will be asked to complete short surveys at the beginning and end of the study, and some may be invited to join a group discussion to share their experiences.
Overall, the study aims to improve programs that connect people to healthy, locally sourced food and to inform future efforts to support nutrition and food access in the community.

Experimental: Medically supportive meal kits
Participants in this single-arm pilot study will receive a nutrition-focused meal kit intervention delivered through a community food pantry.
Over a 12-week period, participants will receive three meal kits per week during their regular pantry visits.
Each meal kit includes fresh produce, locally sourced seafood, and pantry staple ingredients (e.g., grains, seasonings), bundled together with simple, culturally relevant recipes designed to support preparation of healthy meals at home.
In addition to meal kit distribution, participants will be invited to attend optional onsite cooking demonstrations led by community partners, which provide hands-on guidance for preparing the recipes and using the provided ingredients.
Participants will also complete a baseline and follow-up survey, and a subset may be invited to participate in focus groups to share feedback on their experience with the program.
