Greater Lawrence Family Health Center and the Greater Boston Food Bank collaborate on a Mobile Market once per month from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, open to patients and community members. Volunteers are needed beginning at 8:30 am to help package the produce.
The Mobile Food Market is a farmer’s market style event, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables free to anyone who registers.
The market is held at our 34 Haverhill St., Lawrence site. The next Mobile Food Market is Saturday, March 26.

Improvement project enters next phase
Those of you who see your doctors and pick up your prescriptions at our 34 Haverhill Street, Lawrence, location may have noticed a few changes.
We are excited to begin the third construction phase of our Haverhill Street improvement project, which creates separate entrances for the pharmacy and clinic. This will give everyone more “breathing room” and create a better patient experience. Please excuse our appearance during this phase, which we hope to complete by the end of April.
Our Haverhill Street location is the largest and busiest in our network, accounting for 34% of GLFHC’s 300,000-plus annual patient visits, and 50% of the 600,000 prescriptions filled by our pharmacists every year. The pharmacy, clinic and laboratory are located on the first floor of the three-story center.
The second floor is home to our pregnancy, parenting and behavioral health programs. Renovations to the second floor have created additional space for a behavioral health suite to support the full range of expanded behavioral and mental health services.
The third floor houses our nationally renowned Lawrence Family Medicine Residency (LFMR) program. LFMR was the first community health center-based Family Medicine Residency in the United States, established in 1994. It currently serves as the national model for primary care residency training based in underserved communities and focused upon understanding and treating area residents’ health care needs. Renovations to this floor created a customized learning environment for the residency program that includes dedicated space for studying and mentoring by teaching faculty.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements to Haverhill Street. Future phases of the project include renovating the elevator, expanding/creating waiting room space for the pharmacy, clinic, and lab, and sprucing up exam rooms. We are grateful you have entrusted Greater Lawrence Family Health Center with your health care and will continue to send updates on our improvement project.
