The Campaign For Community Servings.
Only a fraction receive the meals they need.
Across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, access to medically tailored nutrition falls dramatically short of need. Last year, more than 300 medically eligible neighbors remained on our waiting list — some for six to twelve months — despite urgent referrals from their doctors.
For someone living with cancer, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS, or another serious condition, waiting isn’t an inconvenience. It’s dangerous.
To meet this moment, we’ve launched a $15-20M campaign to double our reach, advance national policy, and protect this work forever.
Expanding our Jamaica Plain headquarters and building an integrated Food Is Medicine data platform to double output from 1.2 to 2.4 million meals a year — serving up to 16,000 people across two states.
Through the AMPL Institute, advancing the research, policy, and pilot programs — plus an AI Innovation Lab — that reach thousands more and make food a reimbursed standard of care.
Building an endowment that guarantees lifesaving meals every single week — beyond any election, budget cycle, or crisis. Reliability our clients can count on, permanently.

A landmark Health Affairs study found a 16% reduction in monthly healthcare costs for high-need patients receiving medically tailored meals. Scaled nationally, the Tufts analysis projects more than $185 billion in savings over ten years. As managing agency for the Food Is Medicine Coalition Accelerator, we’ve helped incubate more than 28 food is medicine programs nationwide.
It started with a simple belief: food is medicine.
We began in 1990, at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis — a time of fear, stigma, and neglect, when the healthcare system was failing the people who needed it most. AIDS activists, community partners, and the American Jewish Congress launched a bold, humane response rooted in that belief.
It still drives everything we do.
