Food Farmacy Act of 2025

This bill would let the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services give grants to help set up and run healthy food pharmacies, which provide nutritious food and nutrition advice from health professionals. Nonprofit health care providers, state and local governments, and Tribal organizations could apply. Funded pharmacies would have to give food and nutrition guidance free to people on Medicaid or SNAP and focus on low-income, rural, or food-insecure communities. Each grantee could receive up to $500,000 per year, and the bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Grantees would report yearly on the people served and their health outcomes.
