Update: Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) is currently paused due to uncertainity of the state budget. Please continue to advocate with state and local representatives to include HOP in the final budget.
What is HOP? The Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) in North Carolina is the first of its kind to help improve the well-being of Medicaid recipients by addressing everyday challenges that affect health, like access to food, stable housing, transportation, and domestic safety.
Each week, we proudly delivered nutritious, locally sourced, scratch-made meals to clients on Medicaid through the Healthy Opportunities Pilot . These meals were delivered AT NO COST to our clients. The meals are currently paused.
What Our Healthy Opportunity Pilot Clients Are Saying:
“When we worry and stress and try to keep pushing forward it’s much harder on an empty stomach, so thank you for providing me with the fuel to keep going.”
