Franciscan Health’s Fresh Start Markets across Northwest Indiana are hosting events in July to provide groceries to those experiencing food insecurity while offering summer safety education for the whole family.
The Grill, Chill & Stay Safe events will provide frozen hamburger patties, hot dogs, buns and watermelons in addition to other food options for Fresh Start Market shoppers.
Franciscan is also teaming up with community partners to promote summer safety education and awareness for those from birth to 18 during the special Fresh Start Market events. Safety topics include water, fireworks, vehicles, vaping and more.
The Fresh Start Markets in Munster, Crown Point and Michigan City allow those in need to shop free of charge, thanks to a partnership between the Franciscan Health Foundation and the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. In addition to supplying food, the markets work to identify the underlying causes and health implications of food insecurity with education, nutrition and recipes.
The first event is scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central on Wednesday, July 1 at the Fresh Start Market at 301 W. Homer St. in Michigan City. For more information on that event, please call (219) 221-4153.
