Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant Teams Up with Joliet Township Government for Fresh Produce Pop-Up Event

JOLIET – The Will County Executive Office is partnering with Joliet Township Government to provide free fruits and vegetables at a Fresh Produce Pop-Up Event scheduled for Monday, June 30, 2025 from 3-5 p.m. (or while supplies last) at the Forest Park Community Center, 1017 Woodriff Rd, Joliet.

“Access to affordable food options remains a need for many families in our community and this is one way we can assist,” said County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “Our goal is to not only provide fresh, healthy produce to those who need it, but to provide information about local food resources to ensure long-term access for those experiencing food insecurity.”

Fresh produce will be distributed on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Registration is not required and the event will be managed as a drive-up event beginning at 3 p.m. There will also be information about local food resources available.

“We’re grateful to Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant for partnering with Joliet Township Government to bring fresh produce to residents facing food insecurity,” said Joliet Township Supervisor Cesar Guerrero. “By working together, we can better meet the needs of our community. As part of our ongoing commitment to increasing food access and supporting neighbors in need, Joliet Township Government is working towards a permanent food pantry and community garden at the Forest Park Community Center. Events like this pop-up help provide fresh, healthy food while we build these long-term resources for the community.”
