Healthy City Fall River has made it even easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Their new Healthy Neighborhood Market program has surveyed each and every neighborhood market- including corner stores, bakeries and specialized markets- to see who’s got delicious, nutritious food.
With the assistance of this website, it is easy to find a healthy market not far from where you live. Simply type in your street name or zip code in the Search box on the right hand side of this page. Any markets that match your search will show up on the screen.
You can even search for markets that accept food stamps and WIC coupons by typing “SNAP”, “EBT” or “WIC” into search box.
