Written by Angela Wong
A $13,250 grant from the Fairfield County's Community Foundation’s (FCCF) COVID-19 Resiliency Fund
will enable the CityCenter Danbury Farmers’ Market to make fresh produce accessible to people who might otherwise not have access to healthy food options.
The Danbury Farmers’ Market will run every Friday 10 am to 2 pm, from June 25
th through October 29
th at the Danbury Railway Museum.
Peggy Zamore, nutritionist and director of the market programs said, “Over the past twelve years, the Fairfield County’s Community Foundation has awarded the Danbury Farmers’ Market Community Collaborative about $300,000. This significant level of funding is hugely appreciated by the Collaborative and the Danbury community. The goal is to provide not just subsistence food for calories, but nutritious high quality fresh food for health. Without Fairfield County's Community Foundation’s continued support, our health-promoting incentive programs would simply not be possible.”
