Session A will be from May 15 – July 7, and Session B will be from July 17 – September 8.   

Fresh on DeK brings fresh fruits and vegetables to DeKalb County.

In addition to low-cost fresh produce, Fresh on DeK offers weekly nutrition education classes on Zoom and Facebook Live on the Fresh on DeK Facebook page. During this class, participants will receive the Fresh on DeK “word of the week” promo code, which can be redeemed at any Fresh on DeK location for $10 off your purchase.
