North Central Health District Hosting WIC Farmer’s Markets
Posted June 20, 2017 by Michael Hokanson
MACON – NCHD is hosting farmer’s markets at each of the 13 county health departments and the Felton Homes WIC office.
Each farmer’s market is open to the public and will offer free fruits and vegetables for WIC participants. Supplies are limited, so the market will operate on a first come, first serve basis. WIC participants, or their designated alternates, must bring their WIC ID card to take advantage of these free markets. WIC participants are encouraged to come to one of the following:
