Market Day promotes healthy eating by bringing weekly produce markets into neighborhood settings, including senior centers and affordable housing communities. Each site provides unique opportunities for connection, volunteering and access to important resources and helps fight rising costs to keep produce affordable. As part of our “mission within a mission,” Market Day subsidizes the produce and donates unsold produce to other non-profit partners serving vulnerable seniors.

This year, Market Day resulted in:

  • 1,076 shoppers
  • 85,844 pounds of produce purchased
  • 36,957 pounds of produce donated
  • 1,472 EBT transactions
