Special anniversary celebration planned for August 11
FoodShare Union County, in partnership with the RobinHood Group, celebrates one year of service to Union County residents. FoodShare Union County serves all citizens of Union County with affordable fresh fruits and produce. Since starting last July, the program has sold 1842 boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables, which works out to more than 30,000 pounds of produce, most of which comes from local farmers. They have helped to increase local farmer income by 68% through the program.
FoodShare Union County will hold an anniversary celebration on Thursday, August 11, at noon at their new location at the Union County Farm and Craft Market at 106 Lakeside Drive in front of the YMCA. They will be joined by city, county, and state representatives, along with community members and volunteers.
