The Beans & Greens Mobile Farmer's Market is open today (Thursday, June 23rd) from 3pm to 7 pm at Center Elementary School, 84th & Euclid.
Offering fresh fruits and veggies, premium meats and eggs, the Market accepts debit, cash and SNAP (food stamps). For those on food stamps, who often have a difficult time getting access to fresh and healthy foods, their food dollar is doubled. So, if they spent $30 at the market weekly, they could take home $60 worth of groceries.
The Marlborough Market location is one of the newer ones in the city, and we need your help in getting the word out. The Market will be at Center Elementary EVERY Thursday, rain or shine, and with a full-service grocery store absent in our area, this is a good, solid alternative.
Please pass the word, and come by the market yourself!
PS -- the market is staffed by volunteers with very flexible scheduling. This is a great way to meet your neighbors and provide a needed service. Contact Joyce at 816-444-2380 to get on the volunteer list.
