Eastern Market

A historic Detroit staple, Eastern Market's objective is to nourish a healthier, wealthier, and happier Detroit. Through providing food security services, Eastern Market continually looks to improve access to nutritional foods and provide residents with information to prepare healthier meals. The Detroit Lions Charities grant supports Eastern Market food access programs that aim to increase food access points and provide Detroiters with fresh food at convenient locations in local neighborhoods for nine years and counting. In 2019, a team of 37 Food and Health Fellows managed Eastern Markets Farm Stands in the community, engaging with more than 6,000 unique customers.
