About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if monthly food support increases food security in food insecure households. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does monthly food support increase household food security? * Does monthly food support reduce stress, increase dietary diversity, and improve self-reported wellness in recipients?
Researchers will compare households receiving monthly food support to households that do not receive study-related food support. Participants will complete questionnaires regarding food insecurity, stress, wellness, and dietary diversity at baseline and after 3 months.
