LG 45 Champions Healthy Kids Launch

A fresh initiative is taking root in Greer thanks to Leadership Greer Class 45, who partnered with the Greer Farmers Market to launch the Healthy Kids Program as part of their class project. This farm-to-table program promotes healthy eating and active lifestyles among children by improving access to fresh, local produce. Designed with education in mind, the program will feature tastings, interactive kids’ activities, story time readings, and more. Each week, the first 50 children who visit the market will receive a $5 voucher. Healthy Kids empowers children to make choices that support personal and community wellness, making nutritious food both exciting and accessible. 
A special ceremony will take place as Mayor of Greer, Rick Danner, is to speak. A celebratory check will be presented by Leadership Greer Class 45 to Greer Farmers Market Director Maggie Blair. Children are welcome to join in with seed planting and various other interactive activities.
