EVENT HIGHLIGHT
MARKET ON THE MOVE - INEXPENSIVE FRESH PRODUCE
EAT FRESH! SAVE FOOD!
Do you love fresh fruits and vegetables?
Do you want to save FRESH food from going to waste?
Come to the 3000 Club's Market on the Move Hosted by the UA Department of Nutritional Sciences
The University of Arizona Department of Nutritional Sciences will be partnering with the 3000 Club and Alta Vista High School for this event.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
- Show up at Alta Vista High School between the hours of 8:00am-11:00am (while supplies last)
- Pay $10.00 (Cash preferred)
- Load up on delicious produce, take home, and enjoy.
TIPS:
- Early birds get the best pick! Consider arriving on the front end, although there should be plenty to go around.
- Bring a wagon, rolling cart or packaging of some sort (box or canvas bag) to carry produce. Boxes will also be available for you to use.
- Consider splitting the cost with a friend and sharing the produce- 60 lbs is a LOT of fruits and vegetables! (You don’t have to take it all but you are allowed to if you would like)
