During the Molino visit, Millie will a menu of fresh produce that included cabbage, carrots, corn, garlic, onions, oranges, yellow squash, sweet potatoes and zucchini at below-market prices.

Millie will be at the Molino Community Center/Molino Branch Library on north Highway 95A from 9-11 Thursday morning. Millie will be in Jay from 9-10 a.m. Friday at the Jay Gazebo Park at Highway 4 and Calfree Street and from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 14047 Alabama Street
