FARMERS MARKET AT NORWALK COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

The popular Wednesday Farmers Market returned for the 2020 season on July 8, with support from Newman”™s Own Foundation.  Open to the public, the weekly market sponsored by the Norwalk Community Health Center Inc. (NCHC) will operate every Wednesday until Thanksgiving from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the NCHC parking lot at 120 Connecticut Ave., Norwalk.
The Farmers market accepts EBT/SNAP, credit and debit cards and cash, in addition to NCHC”™s own farmers market vouchers, a patient-only program that stretches patients”™ food dollars.
“Record numbers of our patients and neighbors are facing hunger, in the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said John Gettings, Norwalk Community Health Center interim CEO. “We welcome this critical funding made by Newman”™s Own Foundation as part of its commitment to address issues of fresh food access and nutrition education.” Newman”™s Own Foundation is the independent foundation created by the late actor and philanthropist, Paul Newman.
Breaking down barriers to healthy food choices for patients and the community is one of the ways that NCHC, a nonprofit health care provider, is dedicated to providing a comprehensive continuum of medical and wellness care within reach of its 13,000 patients and leading Greater Norwalk to achieve its best health.
