Rowan University’s campus is a site for Fresh For All, an initiative spearheaded by Philabundance to bring fruits and vegetables to communities. Students and community members can pick up fresh produce at no cost every Friday from 9:30am-10:30am in Parking Lot D on Rowan’s Glassboro campus. In the event of bad weather, please call 856-244-1166 to see if the market will be open. 

Rowan students and local residents wishing to utilize the market do not need to show identification, but will need to bring their own bags or boxes.

The market is a partnership that includes The Shop, the Student Government Association and the Office of Volunteerism & Community Engagement. Volunteers at the market will include Glassboro community members and Rowan students, staff, faculty and administrators.
