This summer, Fresh Food Markets will be hosted weekly, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at three Cook County Health and Hospital System health centers in South Suburban Cook County.
Cottage Grove Health Center, 1645 Cottage Grove, Ford Heights
Black Oaks Center , a local nonprofit, is partnering with CCHHS to make fresh fruits and vegetables available for sale at CCHHS health centers. Cash, credit, and Link cards (SNAP/EBT/food stamps) are accepted as forms of payment. Persons using their SNAP/Link card benefits to purchase will receive a Link Match Coupon, as part of the Link Up Illinois program, good towards the next purchase of fruits and/or vegetables.
If you have Medicaid or receive a medical card, you may be eligible for SNAP. Our partners at the Greater Chicago Food Depository can assist with SNAP applications. Visit their website or call 773-843-5416 to reach their Benefits Outreach team.
