Since March, AHF's Food for Health partnered with Janet and Christy Lee, owners of the longtime family-owned eatery, by allowing Food for Health to host a free weekly farmers' market in the restaurant parking lot. AHF's Out of the Closet hosted a number of pop-up events offering free clothing and other items in conjunction with the farmers' markets over the past eight months. As Fairoaks Burger is now fully back in business and additional local food banks and providers are addressing the ongoing need for food assistance, Food for Health is winding down its weekly Saturday farmers' markets in Altadena.
