4MRMarket Report: After the Storm Edition

We've dried off, cleaned up and powered on, so the Four Mile Run Farmers & Artisans Market is open again today (Sunday) at 8am.  Today Jeremy Fiori will be performing in the Market Lounge this week and the ANHSI (Alexandria Neighborhood Health Services), the providers behind the Arlandria Health Center, will be set up in the Community Tent to educate and inform about their programs and services.

ANHSI is also piloting a project this week, with the help of a government grant, to provide farm market vouchers to their patients -- an effort to make fresh farm products available to low income neighbors. In the near future, 4MRMarket hopes to build on this by making EBT (electronic benefits transfer, aka food stamps) available at the market as well.

The usual complement of vendors will be on hand again today (the full list is here).  Come on down and enjoy Four Mile Run Park.  It's a beautiful day.
