🌽🍅 Happy National Farmers Market Week! 🥕🍇 We’re thrilled to celebrate with you at Plant Chicago’s Farmers Market! 🎉 Join us every third Saturday of the month as Common Threads brings you fresh, fun, and flavorful cooking demos right from the heart . 👩🍳 Supporting farmers and local produce is vital for a thriving community. By choosing local, we not only enjoy fresher, tastier food but also strengthen our local economy and reduce our environmental footprint. Every purchase helps local farmers sustain their livelihoods and promotes sustainable farming practices. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with the people growing our food and to nurture a healthier, more resilient food system. Get inspired by seasonal flavors, learn new recipes, and celebrate the rich bounty of our local farms. See you at the market! #FarmersMarketWeek #CommonThreads #PlantChicago #SupportLocal #FarmFresh #CookingDemos #HealthyEating #CookingForLife🌱💚

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We’re thrilled to announce a powerful partnership between Common Threads and Superior HealthPlan! 🙌 Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Superior HealthPlan, we're set to distribute 150 fresh, locally sourced produce boxes to families in need. 🥕🍎🥦 These boxes will provide a week's worth of organic fruits and veggies for a family of four, directly impacting around 600 children and families in El Paso. 🌟 Plus, they’ll be a part of our nutrition education and culinary skills programs, equipping families with the knowledge to make healthy choices. On Thursday, July 24, we celebrated this partnership with a special presentation of the check from Superior HealthPlan to our El Paso Program Manager, Victoria Aragon. This collaboration was a significant step toward enhancing food and nutrition security and bridging health disparities in our community. 💪❤️ Together, we’re making a difference—one produce box at a time! 🌍✨ #CommonThreads #SuperiorHealthPlan #CommunityImpact #NutritionEducation #HealthyEating #ElPaso #FoodSecurity
