The Veggie Van will make its way to the Niles-Buchanan YMCA this month. Spectrum Health Lakeland says the Veggie Van is a mobile farmer’s market that offers fresh produce free of charge to anyone looking. The fruits and vegetables are locally grown. The Veggie Van will be at the Niles-Buchanan YMCA on Tuesday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event will be held drive-through style and participants should remain in their car to ensure proper social distancing. A total of 100 bags will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The goal of the Veggie Van is to ensure fruits and vegetables are available to people who otherwise have limited access to fresh produce. It’s made possible through the support of Spectrum Health and the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids in partnership with Spectrum Health Lakeland and the YMCA of Greater Michiana.
