Norcross – Sustainable Norcross, Inc. has announced that it has been awarded a $10,000 Neighborhood Fund Grant from The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta to help fund the non-profit's primary project, Norcross Community Market.
Funds are specifically to help recruit and mentor new vendors reflective of the city's diverse population, collect and analyze market data, conduct outreach for the SNAP and senior nutrition programs offered at the market, and to provide family-friendly programming.
Visit Norcross Community Market weekly starting Saturday, June 2 through August 25 at Lillian Webb Park in Norcross. The market is open 9 am to 1 pm. This open-air market offers locally and sustainably grown food and other hand-crafted products for purchase directly from the grower or producer.
