Sen. Hinds supports Mobile Market with ARPA funds

March 2, 2022 - Senator Adam Hinds presented a check for $50,000 to the Hilltown Mobile Market on the porch of the Sawyer Farm Store in Worthington this afternoon. The funding comes from the Massachusetts legislature through the American Rescue Plan or ARPA.

Hinds was quoted saying that the Hilltown Mobile Market solves many of the challenges we face in the Hilltowns with one innovative project, connecting residents with limited access to food and transportation to a market that also prioritizes the economic viability of local farms.

Hilltown CDC is grateful to the Senator for his support and to all the partners that have made this project possible. Hilltown Community Health Center, the Collaborative for Educational Services, and Cooley Dickinson Health Care have all worked together with Hilltown CDC over the years to address food insecurity in our communities.

The Hilltown Mobile Market 2022 season will begin July 16th and run through November 18th. Farm shares are will be available for purchase soon as well! For more information about the market please visit www.hilltownmobilemarket.info
