Community Partnerships in Action!!
Starting Thursday August 21 and continuing every 3rd Thursday of the month, Bethel and its community partners, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, will host the GCFD ProduceMobile, in the parking lot of the New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church on Washington and Kildare.
On every 3rd Thursday, from 9 A. to 11 A., hundreds of families from the Austin, West Garfield Park and East Garfield Park communities will have the opportunity to receive fresh fruit and vegetables, FREE! – Absolutely no charge. It will be a year-round Farmers Market.
Bethel hopes to gain the support and participation of other partner organizations that offer Voter Registration, as well as a healthcare partner that would offer free healthcare screening through a HealthCare Mobile Unit – making every 3rd Thursday a complete day.
Volunteers are needed to assist in distributing the produce. If you are interested, please contact Nina Hall, 773-7870, ext. 146 or eMail: nhall@bethelnewlife.org
