Project FRESH accepted at the City Market
We accept Project FRESH at the Lansing City Market!
Project FRESH is a program that makes fresh produce available to low-income, nutritionally-at-risk consumers, by using Michigan farmers’ markets. The program was started in 1986 in several states across the country. Project FRESH is currently administered by the Michigan Department of Community Health in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Michigan State University Extension/Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and Family Nutrition Program. Local health agencies and MSU extension offices statewide deliver Project FRESH services to certified WIC participants. Read more information about Project FRESH.
The Senior Project FRESH program is administered by the Michigan Department of Community Health, Office of Services to the Aging, in partnership with the WIC program. Specified Senior Centers will issue coupons to eligible seniors. Questions on this program should be directed to (517) 373-4095.
