Change in Diet Quality - Frequency	Baseline, Week 20	Diet quality will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. Frequency (how often vegetables were consumed in the past month) is reported on a Likert scale: 1 = once a month, 2 = two or three times a month, 3 = once a week, 4 = more than once a week.
Change in Diet Quality - Quantity of Serving	Baseline, Week 20	Diet quality will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. Quantity of Serving (how much is consumed at a time) is reported on a Likert Scale: 1 = less than ¼ cup, 2 = ¼ to ½ cup, and 3 = more than ½ cup.

The total score range is 0-9; the higher the score, the greater the sense of social cohesion.
Change in Food Insecurity Score	Baseline, Week 20	Food insecurity will be self-reported via a follow-up survey.
