Through the market, BCZ improves food security for vulnerable populations, educates the public on staying safe and healthy during the pandemic, supports businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and distributes PPE items.
An estimated 92,000 people were served during 35 food distribution days, 9 market days, 4 community events and 3 COVID Test days and PPE kits were distributed to 170 businesses.
While poor air quality due to wildfires and increasingly stringent Health Orders prevented additional events in 2020, the AKOMA Market returns in 2021 with creative programs like drive-in movies.
