Program Overview

The goals of ¡Más Fresco! Plus are to:

Health Clipart

Increase access to and consumption of healthy foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, among community members who are experiencing health disparities, including food insecurity and diet related chronic disease.


Health Clipart

Improve nutrition and health status among program participants.


This program is part of a University of California San Diego (UCSD) research study that aims to learn how nutrition incentives provided through ¡Más Fresco! Plus affect access to healthy foods, and how they help people consume more fruits and vegetables for better health.

As part of the enrollment process, you will be asked for your consent to participate in this research study. You will also be provided the opportunity to participate in a survey upon enrollment. After 3 months of your participation, some participants may be contacted by Más Fresco Plus staff about an opportunity to take a follow-up survey. This will help us learn more about the impact of the program and how it may help participants access and eat healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables, to improve health.

If you need assistance with enrolling online, please contact ¡Más Fresco! Plus, at 888-315-6602 or by e-mail at masfrescoplus@health.ucsd.edu, and a ¡Más Fresco! Plus staff member will help you enroll in the program.


The funding available for this program enables us to provide benefits to a certain number of community members at a time. Once we reach the maximum number of participants, all funding for this benefit will have been fully allocated and no additional enrollments will be accepted.
