Giving back to the community: Rotary Marketplace

Yakima’s new Rotary Marketplace is scheduled for completion in mid-May, just in time for the opening of the Farmers Market. One of the first big events held there will be our community health fair, Fiesta de Salud, on August 5. MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital donated the land for the Marketplace in the parking lot area of the MultiCare Business Center at 15 W. Yakima Avenue, and Yakima’s three Rotary clubs provided funding. It will serve as a permanent home for the downtown Farmers Market, with two covered pavilions to provide shelter from the weather in all seasons. We are proud to contribute to this project, which will positively impact the diet and health of our community and support local businesses as well.
