Correction 3/17/25: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Brianna Desautels was a Dental Hygiene student. This has been corrected to Allied Health student.
Fresh produce is available to MWCC students at Marty’s Market on Tuesdays. The boxes are donated by Growing Places, a nonprofit based in Leominster, MA, and dropped off at Marty’s Market every Tuesday afternoon. A limited supply of boxes are available. Produce boxes are free to all MWCC students and you don’t need an account with Marty’s Market to pick one up. The produce that is available is seasonal and will change throughout the year.
Students weigh in on what they think of the boxes:
“There’s a good variety. The stuff is fresh. You can take a whole box or sift through what you need,” said Brianna Desautels, Marty’s Market staff and Allied Health student.
“I like that there’s a fresh variety of local vegetables,” said Kelsey Cobb, an Allied Health student.
If you’re a MWCC student interested in a free produce box, visit Marty’s Market located in room H155 on the Gardner Campus.
