All Saints MarketThe city of Pontiac, like many other urban centers where poverty exists in large numbers, has been classified as a "food desert," which is defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an area where residents have limited access to foods needed in order to maintain a healthy diet. Many Pontiac residents, especially the elderly, infirm, or who lack transportation, are unable to access the large suburban supermarkets where fresh produce is readily available. This situation forces many of our neighbors to rely on small local grocery stores that are often unable to offer the kind of fresh, healthy food necessary for preventing Type II diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. As part of our church's continuing mission to serve the downtown Pontiac community in mind, body, and spirit, we are operate a weekly, not-for-profit community produce market, which sells fresh fruit and vegetables at extremely reasonable prices.
As a Christian community dedicated to serving both the spiritual and physical needs of God's people, we believe that the operation of All Saints' Market is a fitting way to fulfill our mission to the local community. We hope that you will come by and check out our market, meet your neighbors, and be a part of this exciting ministry. The market is open year-round on Saturdays from 10am-2pm. From our parking lot, go down one short flight of steps and through the bright yellow doors. We welcome shoppers with EBT (Bridge) cards! | Related Pages |
