Top Nutrition Services and Dietary Planning

Our nutrition services include a series of programs that support patients in managing their health and getting the nourishment they need. With quality health education and disease management, patients can make informed dietary choices.

• Meal Planning Assistance – Our experts can help you plan balanced and nutritious meals that fit your tastes and budget, making healthy eating easier and more enjoyable.
• Support for Special Dietary Needs – We offer guidance for those with food allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary requirements for medical conditions.

Orange County Food Pantry and Nutrition Program

Good nutrition is the foundation of health and well-being. But unfortunately, many in the Orange County LGBTQ+ community struggle to access consistent sources of healthy food. As a part of our social services program, our food pantry services are available to Orange County residents who are HIV+, with an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.

Eligible clients can receive help with groceries, prepared meals, vitamins and dietary supplements. We also offer medically tailored meals for those with special health needs, and our registered dietitian is available for nutritional counseling.

Patients can also use our case management services to coordinate healthcare needs. Rather than attempting to go through various specialists, our case managers offer our community coordinated care, including the food pantry, medical services and mental health counseling.

Food Pantry Hours

• Tuesday: 12 PM – 4:30 PM
• Wednesday: 9 AM – 1 PM
• Thursday: 12 PM – 4:30 PM
• Friday: 9 AM – 1 PM
• Saturday, Sunday & Monday: Closed

Talk to your case manager about any food and nutrition problems, and we’ll work with you to address your needs.

At Radiant Health Centers we are committed to supporting your nutritional health with expert guidance, personalized care and essential resources. We’re here to help our community members on their journey to a healthier, happier life.
