The Vitamix program had two programs: the large discount option that is now discontinued; the other was and appears to remain intact is one that offered machines to very financially distressed patients. It required proof of Medicaid or SSI, along those lines and there was no certainty of receiving one; one applied, not ordered one.

For those who find the current Vitamix programs still too costly, check if Blentech still has a similar program as the discontinued one.

One other thought for OCF is has there been thought given to a loaner program as an alternative to giving units. Since most of us need liquified food for a limited time, maybe it would benefit more folks to borrow one for a few months and let OCF offer to others during their time of need.
