The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and likely effect of a produce prescription intervention on patient-centered outcomes, health behaviors and health outcomes, among food insecure adults with chronic kidney disease stages 3 - 5. Participants will complete surveys at three timepoints, each three months apart, and complete health measurements at two timepoints 6 months apart. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the treatment where they will receive produce prescriptions with amount of the vouchers depending on their reported family size, every two weeks over six months. Researchers will compare the treatment group and the control group to see if there are any improvements in patient-centered outcomes (food and nutrition insecurity, health-related quality of life, depression and anxiety) and clinical outcomes (diet quality, metabolic acidosis, serum albumin, estimated GFR, blood pressure, and HbA1C).
