Open Door Family Medical Center is partnering with Feeding Westchester to bring a free "market on wheels" to the Port Chester Community. Each month fresh, nutritious food will be provided to those-in-need. The food is set up as a farmer’s market so that people can walk through and select their own food, including fresh protein, dairy, produce and grains.

The Market takes place RAIN OR SHINE OR SNOW - please dress appropriately!

Volunteers will help set up and distribute food products along with breaking down cardboard boxes.
