Who we are
CU Medicine X Denver Food Rescue
We are a team of medical students at the University of Colorado School of Medicine working in tandem with to the community-powered model, Health Choice Food Boxes by Denver Food Rescue.
Our project aims to support food access and nutrition education by pairing your weekly fresh produce deliveries with recipes tailored to the content of the month’s box. Each recipe has been reviewed by registered dietitians and community nutritionists to provide evidence-based, practical education on healthy eating.
The resources we provide focuses on:
Easy-to-Prepare Healthy Recipes that align with weekly produce boxes
Accessible Nutrition Information tailored to all ages and backgrounds
Bilingual materials
Support from healthcare trainees and nutrition professionals working together to bridge clinical knowledge and community wisdom
We believe that food is more than medicine—it’s culture, community, and connection. By integrating fresh food with meaningful education, we hope to empower individuals with the tools and confidence to make healthy choices
