There are many areas of Peoria that don't have access to grocery stores within a reasonable range, leaving them with poor, unhealthy options for food. Many people don't have the ability or the desire to go to a farmers market.

This year, we are partnering up with Peoria Grown to improve access to farm fresh vegetables in Peoria. We support Peoria Grown because they're bringing healthy foods into these areas themselves through their Market 309 program.

This allows access to healthy/affordable options in the most underserved neighborhoods.
