Aim for 8 – Fruit and Vegetable Vouchers 2016

Once again the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit (CKPHU) is launching its Aim for 8 Campaign encourage people in Chatham-Kent to eat more fruits and vegetables. As part of Aim for 8, CKPHU has partnered with farmers’ markets, local vendors and grocery stores to offer the Fruit and Vegetable Voucher Program. This program is a great way to try new fruits and vegetables while supporting our local farmers through buying local produce.

The vouchers can be used to purchase vegetables and fruit between July 1 and September 4, 2016. They cannot be used for other items such as local honey, jam, baked goods, etc.

Where to get the voucher?

Vouchers will be distributed at health unit programming as well as through community partner programming and a limited number at your local library.

**Note that vouchers are given on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a limited number that will be given out at each location.

Where can the vouchers be used? Note there are changes to the list from last year.
