Diabetes Aid Prevention Fund

Diabetes afflicts Millions of people. Help us stop this epidemic! We provide fresh nutritional fruits/vegetables, health & nutrition training, diabetes prevention education and testing, and emergency food and medical assistance to low-income families.

Diabetes Aid Prevention Fund collaborates with a host site (Church, School or civic group) who provides between 10 and 20 volunteers and identify s people in the community who will come and select up to 60 lbs of produce that they will deliver to people they have identified who are in need. A semi load of 5 to 7 varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables is set up on tables where the community agents can select the produce they will distribute to people in need in their community.

Diabetes Aid Prevention Fund was established to measure the Diabetes preventing effect of providing impoverished families a diet that is predominately Fruits and Vegetables thru a food assistance program providing only fruits and vegetables. Because these families are dependent on the Fruits and Vegetables that are provided them. This unique situation will allow us to do a long term study of the Diabetes prevention effects of a diet rich in Fruits and Vegetables. Scientific research concludes that the best diet for preventing Diabetes is one that is low in fat and high in vegetables and fruits. Overall, most cases of diabetes could be prevented.

Testimonials

I went to my first Market on the Move last Saturday at the Baptist church on 59th Avenue. It was fun. I shared the 20 pounds of green beans with friends at church on Sunday morning. I just gave my sister some of the oranges and I tried acorn squash for the first time.
