Food and Nutrition Services


CAMBA’s Food and Nutrition Services started in 2011 and provides food services that include Congregate Meals, Food Pantry Bags, Food Vouchers and nutritional services to 300 HIV positive individuals and their minor children who are residents of NYC and who meet the financial eligibility for the program.  All enrolled clients will meet with our Registered Dieticians for an assessment and the completion of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan to address their food and/or nutrition needs.  Clients identified as having special nutritional needs will receive appropriate services including Individual Nutritional Counseling and Group Nutritional Education.  Through counseling and group education, clients will learn about meeting their own unique nutritional needs and ensuring proper nutrition and diet while managing co-morbid conditions and treatment adherence.  In counseling sessions, clients will set nutritional goals and make specific plans to achieve them.  For clients whose physicians have made referrals for nutritional supplements, the appropriate supplements will be distributed in conjunction with counseling sessions.  The program staff will ensure that clients are connected and remain in HIV Primary Care in order to continue receiving services under this contract.
