The Rhode Island Public Health Institute (RIPHI) operates Food on the Move, a program designed to increase access to healthy, affordable food. Food on the Move makes healthy food affordable by providing a 50% discount on fruits and vegetables purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Limestone has been hired to evaluate the feasibility of scaling similar incentive programs statewide.
As part of this work, Limestone reviewed and modified Food on the Move’s current research and evaluation plans; developed a costing model to estimate the costs and benefits of expanding SNAP incentive programs statewide; and disseminated the results of the feasibility model.
The costing model has been a critical component of the decision-making process for supporting SNAP work in Rhode Island.
