‘Market Greens' addresses food insecurity in local community
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A local farmer's market is starting a new program to make sure everyone has access to fresh, healthy produce. The Binghamton Farmer's Market at Rec Park is beginning its Market Greens initiative this season. The nutrition-focused program will provide those in need with free coupons to exchange for items at the market. By providing no-questions-asked opportunities to get food, the project hopes to address food insecurity in the community. Vice President Bryce Farrell says she hopes the initiative will provide a third space for businesses and community members to connect. 'There are lots of vibrant businesses in food and agriculture. They want to get to know you, so you can come here and meet your farmer and know exactly where your eggs, your fruits, and your vegetables are coming from. You're developing relationships, you're improving your nutrition, and also just getting to spend some time outside with your neighbors,' said Farrell. The Binghamton Farmers Market is in its second year and takes place at Rec Park on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through October 26. The market also has live music, arts and crafts, and nutritional workshops for kids and families. Visit the Binghamton Farmers Market Facebook page for more information.

Heat Related Dangers this Summer
(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — As we enter the summer months, high temperatures are only going to continue climbing. June marks the start of the Meteorological Summer, and it's the time of year when we begin to see temperatures consistently reaching the upper-80s, and in some parts of Southern Colorado, even the 90s. In a region as active as Southern Colorado, it's no surprise that more and more people will be heading outside. Whether it's hiking, running, walking, or just enjoying the outdoors, summer is when the outdoors really come alive. But with that increased time outside comes an important reminder and message: heat can be dangerous. As temperatures rise and outdoor activity increases, so do the risks. It's essential to recognize that heat isn't just uncomfortable, it can be deadly. In fact, heat-related deaths are the number one weather-related killer, and that number has only been growing. Over the last 20 years, data shows a steady increase in these deaths, with average yearly numbers continuing to climb over the past five years on average. The most effective way to prevent heat-related illness and deaths is through awareness. Understanding the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke can make all the difference. These are two distinct heat-related conditions, but both are extremely serious. Recognizing the warning signs early and taking the right precautions could truly save a life. As we enjoy all that summer has to offer, don't forget to take care of yourself and those around you. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
