We recently hosted a Shopper’s Appreciation event at Birmingham Towers where shoppers were given $25 vouchers to our Mobile Market! Shoppers were able to choose from a variety of fresh produce, pantry staples, proteins, and dairy. We had such a wonderful time and look forward to hosting similar events in the future. A thank you also to the UnitedHealthcare team for joining us at the event to provide the shoppers with important information on health insurance.
