Farmer's Market

The first Tuesday of every month, a FREE Farmer’s Market is held at the McCormick Tribune YMCA. In collaboration with the Greater Chicago Food Depository Fresh Produce Mobile we distribute free fruits and vegetables to community families and individuals in need.

Line Numbers are distributed at 7:00 AM on a first-come-first-served basis and distribution begins at 10:30 am until supplies last. (You must be present when your number is called in order to secure the numbered place in line.)

Recipients must be 18 or older and are limited to one person per household. No proof of income is needed, only a signature is required.
