July 6, 2021 Spectrum Health’s Veggie Van will head to Hartford next week. Spectrum Health Lakeland says the van will be at Lakeland Primary Care Hartford from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, July 16. The Veggie Van is a mobile farmer’s market intended to provide locally grown, top-quality fruits and vegetables to anyone who wants them. The veggies and fruits are free. Next Friday’s stop will be drive-through style nd participants should remain in their car to ensure proper social distancing. A total of 100 bags will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Although the event started at 11 a.m., cars were lined up almost an hour before. Rose Mitchell arrived in the YMCA parking lot at 10:15 a.m. to become the first in line. Mitchell said she came because the cost of food is high and it’s been difficult to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables on a low income. "Every little bit helps," she said. The YMCA in Grand Rapids hosts regular events with the Veggie Van in its area. Community Collaborations Director Belisa Melton said her group put together the bags and then drove them down to Niles Tuesday morning.
