SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Food Bank of El Dorado County, in partnership with local organizations Bread & Broth, the Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe, and the Marcella Foundation, are announcing five Free Summer Farmer’s Market scheduled for this summer.

The first Free Farmer’s Market will be held on Thursday, June 11 from 10-11 a.m. at the St. Theresa Catholic Church parking lot, 1041 Lyons Avenue, South Lake Tahoe. The remaining four scheduled dates include July 9, August 13, September 10, and October 8, all at the St. Theresa parking lot.

This drive-through event will feature fresh produce and non-perishable food items. Volunteers from the local organizations and the Family Resource Center will pack and distribute the bags and boxes of food.

Last summer, nearly 500 families received fresh vegetables, fruit, and non-perishables from the Free Farmer’s Markets. As Roberta Strachan, volunteer Food Coordinator for Bread & Broth shares, “Thanks to the generous efforts and financial support of the El Dorado Food Bank as well as local non-profits, these Free Farmer’s Markets allow our South Lake Tahoe residents in need to have access to fresh, locally grown, and nutritious foods.”
