Abstract

Accessing produce and the education necessary to its utilization are barriers to consuming the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables for adults and families in Allegheny and Fayette Counties. The American Heart Association (AHA) and Pitt’s SHRS Nutrition & Dietetics program established a partnership to support the AHA’s pop-up produce box initiative. During the 6-month program, this partnership created videos, tips, and recipes outlining produce-focused nutrition education. These materials corresponded with weekly produce received and followed AHA’s heart-healthy diet. This partnership demonstrated the ability to collaborate with a national organization on nutrition content while impacting the Pittsburgh community.
