At the end of the baseline data collection visit at the clinic, the Research Staff will hand the participant a welcome packet that includes: * educational and motivational written materials (about such topics as CKD and healthy eating for early CKD stages) * a collection of recipes featuring kidney-friendly vegetables

Those allocated to the intervention arm will receive a welcome call from the Program Staff to provide further details and expectations about the program (such as delivery details and schedule). Those allocated to the control arm will receive an SMS text that informs them of their arm allocation, what to expect and a phone number to call for questions.

* Each participant is assigned a program staff ("dedicated health partner") who call them briefly (15 min or so) over the phone for empathy-based support on the participant's health journey, and practical suggestions for shopping and food preparation. * The Health Partner will share periodically via SMS text a curated list of evidence-based, trustworthy online educational resources. * Health partners are not trained to answer medical or health-related questions and will not provide medical guidance or advice of any kind. For such questions, they will encourage participants to contact the clinic or physician. * Frequency: 1. Weeks 1-2 (2 weeks): No calls. 2. Weeks 3-7 (4 weeks): 2 calls a week, for a total of 8 calls. 3. Weeks 8-26 (18 weeks): 1 call every 2 weeks, for a total of 10. But during weeks 7, 11, and 19, participants will be given the choice to keep at 1x/week or decrease to 1x every 4 weeks.
