Fruit and Veggie Connect

The Fruit and Veggie Connect program, a produce delivery program piloted in 2021, connects the Children’s Mercy Community Garden to parents enrolled in home visiting programs. Consistent access to healthy food is a key component of the health of children and their families. We are excited to bring healthy fruits and vegetables to families in the Kansas City Metro Area.
