Market Day Grand Re-Opening in Marin City

For 38 years, the Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM) has brought Marin farmers’ locally produced food to the underserved people in Marin through farmers’ markets and other programs. One of these programs is AIM’s popular Rollin’ Root Mobile Market, which sends a food truck laden with fresh fruits and vegetables to regular weekly stops throughout Marin County, and to Marin City, enabling the community to have access to fresh, healthy produce, regardless of their transportation or economic barriers.

Market Day celebrated their Grand Re-Opening on Thursday, June 2, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Marin City Community Services at 640 Drake Ave. in Marin City. The Rollin’ Root Mobile Market will be relocating to join Market Day in order to better deliver and make available fresh affordable produce to the community.

The Rollin’ Root will accept CalFresh, California’s name for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. CalFresh participants who use their EBT card at The Rollin’ Root are eligible to receive 50% off their purchase of fruits and vegetables through Market Match (up to $15 in discounts per day).

The Rollin’ Root will also accept Senior Bonus Bucks, which are $4 coupons for free fruits and vegetables issued to qualifying older adults ages 60 and older who participate in the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.

The Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) has partnered with AIM to specifically serve the residents of Marin City. MALT has provided a $5,000 grant so that Rollin’ Root can add a Marin City stop to its weekly route to provide farmers’ market produce to Marin City residents.

Ten pre-packed bags of fresh produce will also be delivered weekly to the Marin City Health and Wellness Center for distribution to clients in need.

MALT believes that a healthy local food system depends on everyone having equitable access to fresh food. Decades of economic and racial inequities and policies have created discrepancies in people’s access to fresh food here at home. We must work collectively to undo these discrepancies, and the AIM and MALT partnership is a step in the right direction.

Residents can support this work by visiting the Rollin’ Root at any of its weekly stops. Check out the Rollin’ Root schedule at malt.org. Or make a gift on the AIM website or visit the MALT website to learn more about MALT’s vision for the future or to make a donation to help protect Marin County’s at-risk farmland.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
