Franciscan Health campuses in Hammond, Crown Point to distribute food at Mobile Markets in July

Franciscan Health’s Mobile Markets in partnership with the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana will be offered this month at both Hammond and Crown Point hospitals.

The Mobile Markets are provided by the Franciscan Health Foundation as a key component of its Franciscan Food Insecurity Program. Upcoming Mobile Markets locations and dates are:

·         Franciscan Health Hammond, 5454 Hohman Ave., 3PM, Wednesday, July 27, in the parking lot across the street next to Centier Bank.

Provided in partnership with Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, each mobile market truck offers participants a selection of free grains, fruits, vegetables and protein. Food will be distributed on a first come, first served basis until supplies are gone. Recipients must show valid proof of Indiana residency. The Mobile Market is drive-through only. Please do not arrive prior to 2:30PM.
