Prosser Food Depot Hosts "Ask Me" Campaign

Most women understand that they should have mammograms, but all too often, the cost is a deterrent to scheduling this potentially life-saving procedure.

The Washington Cares About Cancer Partnership is testing a new program, and Prosser Food Depot is one of the places where it is being featured.

The "Ask Me" campaign gives women information about eligibility for a free mammogram through the Washington Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program. For women ages 40-64, with limited income and little or no insurance, this program can be a lifesaver. Additional free services include clinical breast exams, pap tests and diagnostic tests if needed. Funding comes through the American Cancer Society.

Food Depot team members have "Ask Me" buttons in English and Spanish, as well as simple materials that explain how a woman can get these free services. The materials will be handed out through July.

Over the past year, over 1,700 more mammograms than expected have been scheduled in areas where the "Ask Me" campaign was held. The goal, to have fewer women fall through the health care cracks due to lack of insurance, will be measured in Prosser following the campaign. We are pleased to participate and offer our customers this important information. For details, contact cancer@doh.wa.gov

The Market at Fairhaven: New Name, New Store

posted on December 16, 2009 09:32

It's much more than a name change: The Market at Fairhaven (formerly Southside Food Pavilion) is like a new store, adding over 23,000 new items, special products and departments, with a superior selection of food. It's a major renovation resulting in a prime destination for people who enjoy preparing and eating great food.

The Market believes "made here is better." The store offers the best in quality beef, gluten-free products and made-fresh soups. It features several signature product lines, including the popular DaVinci Classic subs, a Wing Bar with chicken sauced to your liking, Boars Head meats and cheeses (with no fillers, artificial colors or transfats), over 640 gluten-free items (the largest selection in the area), Certified Angus and restaurant quality prime beef, a full-service meat and seafood case, made-from-scratch Deli entrees, salads and more. Under its own Taste of Italy and Taste of Asia banners, the store has creatively grouped hundreds of items for these cuisines, including many unique to this area. It's a store for people who love great food.

The store's own chef will be daily demonstrating how to prepare simple, vibrant dishes. A wine specialist provides not only inspired recommendations, but also competitive pricing on an impressive selection of wines.

Mornings at The Market are better, because breakfast is being served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily. Made to order choices include pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and a hearty egg scrambler dish, each for $1.99

Seniors (55 and older) receive a 5% discount Monday through Thursdays, from 7 to 10 a.m.

The store has been recognized by the Washington State Department of Agriculture as a certified organic handler of produce, one of the few in the area. Building on its commitment to sustainability, The Market encourages customers to bring their own grocery bags, wtih a rebate going to ReSources, the community's environmental organization. It sells its own organic cotton, Fair Trade reusable shopping bags and wine carriers.

Customers visiting The Market will be pleased to note that free WiFi and comfortable seating adjacent to the Deli are still available, along with terrific values on everyday grocery items, too. The addition of self-service, along with full-service checkout counters, maximizes the convenience factor for busy customers.

The Market hosted a grand opening, with food samples and special sales, beginning December 16. If you love great food, you'll want to visit the new Market, just off Interstate 5 at Old Fairhaven Parkway.
