Nonprofit market impact on fruit and vegetable intake and food security

Opening new food stores in food deserts has the potential to improve diet quality and food security; however, nonprofit markets as a food store are scarcely examined. In this pretest/posttest study, 72 participants completed an online survey to report fruit and vegetable intake and food security status 30 days before and 30 days after shopping at a nonprofit market. While food security status did not change from baseline to follow‐up, the frequency of shopping at the market was associated with an increase in fruit intake at the 30‐day follow‐up.
