Food Pantries and Fresh-a-Sprout Market
December 31, 2024
Food insecurity and a lack of access to fresh food is a very real issue in our community. Packard Health is trying to help fill the gap for its patients, offering three food pantries stocked by Food Gatherers, and the seasonal Fresh-a-Sprout FREE fresh food market.
If you have any questions, please call: 734.971.1073
Fresh-a-Sprout FREE Fresh Food Market
All the food offered in the Fresh-a-Sprout market is donated by The Farm at Trinity Health and is FREE to all community members. It will be held each Thursday unless there is heavy rain/snow fall and/or thundering and lightning. It runs through the end of produce season.
The Fresh-a-Sprout market will open next Spring. Check back for the schedule!
