The Washington State Department of Health’s Fruit and Vegetable Prescription (FV Rx) Program works with health care centers in Washington to prescribe fruits and vegetables to patients who are food insecure. Patients receive between $250-$500 in paper vouchers over six months that are redeemable at Safeway stores* for fresh, frozen, and canned items without added salt, sugar, or fat.

In 2024, FV Rx health care partners will distribute $1.6 million in fruit and vegetable prescriptions across the state, which will serve over 6,000 households.

*In 2025, the program will sunset the paper voucher system and implement an electronic card-based solution utilizing eWIC technology. This will increase shopper choice in retail locations, provide a more streamlined solution for shoppers, healthcare, and retail partners, while allowing for expansion to areas in the state that are not currently served by a Safeway store.

“The program is a great opportunity for me to eat fresh fruit and veggies, it was absolutely a blessing, they are great. It really helps to ensure that I can choose the healthier food. Otherwise, I cannot.” —Patient

“I’ve had older adults come up to me and say, “Thank you so much for providing the [Fruit and Vegetable Rx], I’ve always loved eating berries but they’re so expensive, but now that gets to be my treat at night. I haven’t had berries in 20 years because I couldn’t afford them.” —Health care provider

The Seattle Children’s Mental Health Program connects children, teens, and families with evidence-supported outpatient mental health services in their community. This free, telephone-based referral service is funded by Washington Healthcare Authority and operated by Seattle Children’s. The Mental Health Referral Service will provide thorough mental health referrals for children and teens 17 and younger from across Washington.

How does it work? Families can call 833-303-5437 or submit an online request form. We will schedule a telephone intake with a Family Advocate Case Manager, who will ask for the patient’s information, including their mental health needs, location, and health insurance plan. After provider matches are found, the Case Manager will call and email the family to access providers or agencies in real-time. The same Case Manager will follow up with the family after a few weeks to ensure an appointment was made, provide any additional resources, and discuss any barriers there may have been. More information about our program, including FAQs, can be found on our website: PAL and WA Mental Health Referral Service for Children and Teens (seattlechildrens.org)
