At Urban Tilth, we’re committed to making healthy, fresh produce accessible to everyone. Through our two Veggie Rx programs, we offer free weekly deliveries of locally, sustainably grown produce to eligible residents in Richmond and surrounding areas.

Our CalAIM program offers free produce to patients at LifeLong Medical Center with chronic health conditions. Our TCC program offers free produce to residents in Richmond's Iron Triangle, Coronado, and Santa Fe neighborhoods. 

Learn more about how you can qualify for these programs and start receiving fresh produce delivered straight to your door!

CalAIM

If you're a Medi-Cal beneficiary and a patient of LifeLong Medical Care, you may qualify for a weekly delivery of fresh, healthy produce.

Eligibility is determined by your primary care provider. 

Generally for those with chronic conditions with extensive care coordination, such as diabetes, cancer, stroke, congestive heart failure, substance abuse, mental or behavioral health conditions, and other disabling health disorders. Also for those who have been recently hospitalized or are at high risk of hospitalization.

Transformative Climate Communities (TCC)

If you live in the Iron Triangle, Santa Fe, or Coronado neighborhoods, then you are eligible for free produce bags!

Due to high demand, this program is at full capacity but we invite you to join the waitlist. Please note that this program will end July of 2027.
