Wellstar MCG launches mobile market in Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Wellstar MCG is launching a new mobile market this week through a partnership with Golden Harvest and Augusta Locally Grown.
The market aims to give families access to healthy food options. People will receive shelf-stable food boxes from Golden Harvest, while Augusta Locally Grown provides fresh fruits and vegetables. Wellstar provides health education services.
“Wellstar approached us and asked if we would be interested in partnering with them and Golden Harvest to do a food distribution here in the Harrisburg or in the downtown area,” said Diane Kerekanich, operations director for Augusta Locally Grown. “And they felt that this was a really good location because we do have a lot of residents here, and this is considered a food swamp.”
The market is funded with a $50,000 grant to the Wellstar Foundation.
