Abstract

A safety-net hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, made adaptations to its Nourishing Our Community Program to accommodate restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic to continue providing food and education to patients. While participation in programs decreased overall, some of the adaptations made, including virtual classes and food pantry home delivery, were well received and are planned to be maintained after the pandemic subsides. By making adjustments to operational procedures, the Nourishing Our Community Program continued to reach its underserved population despite pandemic challenges.
