ALCC Farmer's Market

Acelero Learning has Partnered up with Three Square to host Farmer's Markets at a few location. In October they launched their first Farmer's Market at the MLK and Henderson centers. A total of 25,600 pounds of produce was donated and handed out to 650 families in two days. Thank all the Volunteers (Staff, Partners and Community) for making this happen. We look forward to making the Farmer's Market a monthly event and is open to staff, families and the community.
