"It's just an opportunity for people to get such good high quality fruits and vegetables that they don't otherwise get here in the city and of course for prices that they would never find at the supermarkets. I think it's a shame that it can't be expanded to more places, more parishes. It certainly isn't difficult to do. Provide a couple tables and some space. I would hope that more places would come aboard next year because it's no inconvenience."
Father Edward Deliman, Visitation Blessed Virgin Mary Church, in the Kensington Section of Philadelphia agreed to allow the Equity Project set up a small market in front of the church each Sunday.

"I think that this is the best thing they could have done for this neighborhood because a lot of people can't afford to go to the market and get fresh produce but here they can."
Carmen Ortiz started visiting the Equity Project's market outside the Visitation Blessed Virgin Mary Church about a month ago and believes it's a great way to help people.

"I think it's a good program. It gets fresh picked fruits and vegetables to people at really good prices. A lot of people don't buy fresh food at the supermarket because it's too expensive. This gives them a place and the food is really tasty."

"I've always had a lot of fruit and vegetables but now I'm getting it at a cheaper price and that helps a lot, it's a lot fresher then when you buy it at the supermarket you don't know how long it's been sitting there. This at least is nice and fresh and doesn't get a chance to sit."
Rita Mount, parishner at the Visitation Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Kensington shares her thoughts on the importance of this project in her neighborhood.
