This study tests a community-based program aimed at supporting adults with early-stage chronic kidney disease to change their eating habits to reduce the likelihood of kidney injury progression. The program components were design to reduce barriers to a) eating healthier, kidney-friendly foods through the direct provision of fruits and vegetables, grocery store e-gift cards, kidney-friendly recipes, and food preparation tips; b) learning about kidney disease and the role of healthy eating in slowing its progression through educational materials; and c) social connection through empathetic relational phone calls and SMS texts from a dedicated "Health Partner". Over a period of 6 months (26 weeks), participants randomized to the intervention arm will receive: * kidney-friendly produce (fruits and vegetables) delivered at their preferred location * recipes and tips on food preparation tailored to the produce * grocery store electronic gift cards * educational materials on CKD and disease management * personalized practical and emotional support through a dedicated Health Partner Researchers will see if participation in the program (intervention) reduces markers of kidney injury (Albumin:Creatinin ratio) and cardiovascular disease risk and improves diet (particularly fruits and vegetables intake) and mental health when compared to usual care (control).
