Food Pantries and Fresh-a-Sprout Market
May 20, 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 rotates through all 3 primary clinic locations and is open from 10 am until approximately 1pm (or until supplies run out).
Food Pantries
Appointments are not necessary and everything is free and open to the entire community- patients and non-patients! See our pantry guidelines.
