Five HealthPartners Clinics will host free vegetable giveaways for the community on Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 10 a.m.
The first 300 people at each site will receive a free bag of locally grown vegetables—including tomatoes, green beans and bell peppers—along with a list of recipes and directions on how to prepare the fresh produce. Members of the community do not need to be HealthPartners members or patients to receive the free veggies.
The event is sponsored by HealthPartners' yumPower, an initiative encouraging everyone to eat more fruits and vegetables. Whether it’s free veggie giveaways or co-sponsoring vegetable gardens for families, HealthPartners' yumPower is working to improve people’s health by making nutritious, better-for-you foods more accessible to everyone.
