The village of Schaumburg has been presented with the Governor's Hometown Award for its Older Adult Market, a free program that helps supply adults 60 and over with fresh market produce.

Presented by Gov. Pat Quinn, the Governor's Hometown Awards recognize volunteers for their work improving their communities.

The Older Adult Market, held in coordination with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, offers anyone age 60 and over the opportunity to select from numerous food items to take home at no charge.

Held on two Friday afternoons each month as part of the village's senior program at the Schaumburg Barn, more than 100 households were served each market day in 2014.

For more information on the Older Adult Market, contact Marina Lvovich at (847) 524-7496.
