Home
The University of Georgia Extension has continually served Fulton County residents since 1914, when fields still covered much of the County. Our programs have expanded over the last century to include urban gardening, sustainable landscapes, family and consumer sciences, and 4-H youth leadership.
The Fulton County Extension, backed by the resources of Fulton County and the University of Georgia, provides educational programs, information, and assistance to citizens of the County. That assistance is provided to citizens by telephone consultation, site visits, newsletters, news articles, radio, and collaboration with other community agencies. In addition, publications and lab services are delivery methods for education and information to citizens.
Fulton Fresh Mobile Market Launches Produce Giveaway
The Fulton County Fresh Mobile Market is stepping up to help families in need. During the ongoing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) crisis, the mobile market will distribute free produce. Future dates will be announced in this space; please check back.
“As SNAP benefits are currently paused, many families face difficult choices when it comes to putting fresh, healthy food on the table,” said Shirley Dodd, Fulton Fresh Mobile Market Coordinator. “Our goal is to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry and that nutritious food is accessible to everyone.”
No registration will be required to attend this free event.
