In an inspiring move to elevate nutrition and tackle hunger, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson has teamed up with Council Member Kevin C. Riley and the Campaign Against Hunger to launch a Farmers Market Pop-Up initiative.

This campaign is dedicated to not only supporting existing farmers markets but also expanding their reach into underserved neighborhoods, ensuring every Bronx resident has access to fresh and nutritious food.

In a statement, President Gibson emphasized the importance of this initiative, saying, “As part of our campaign to improve nutrition and combat hunger in our borough, we partnered with Council Member Kevin C. Riley and Campaign Against Hunger to host a Farmers Market Pop-Up.”

This collaboration aims to bridge the gap in food accessibility by introducing farm stands in areas that currently lack them.

Gibson’s commitment to this cause reflects a larger vision for the Bronx, where health and nutrition are prioritized across all communities.

“While supporting existing farmers markets is essential, we’re equally committed to expanding access by bringing farm stands to neighborhoods that currently lack them,” she added.

This approach not only supports local farmers but also ensures that all Bronx residents can enjoy the benefits of fresh and healthy produce.

Together with her partners, President Gibson is making strides to guarantee that fresh, healthy food is within reach for everyone in the Bronx.

This initiative is a significant step towards a healthier borough, promising a brighter and more nutritious future for all its communities.
