Representatives of six local
health and environmental organizations were on hand at the Downtown
Farmers' Market on June 30, 2011, to share information with the

next to Government Center. Half a dozen farm stands with local vendors, a
food booth from CD-REC, and live
music were also part of the mix.. "We saw this as a great

of local resources each week," noted Seven Hills Behavioral Health
representative Dawn Nardi who organizes the resources tables at the market
each week throughout the summer. Click
