Join Us to Beat Hunger! Farmers Market Giving Back Annual Food Drive

We are excited to announce our Annual Farmers Market Giving Back Community Food Drive, and we need your support to make it a success!

Why Your Help Matters

Hunger knows no race, religion, or boundary—it affects us all. Every day, families in our community struggle to put food on the table. This year, we're partnering with the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center (JCOC) to combat hunger and support those in need.

The JCOC is a cornerstone in our community, providing essential services such as housing, meals, and support for homeless individuals and families. Their programs, including their food pantry and community dinners, make a significant impact on the lives of many.

Our Goal: Beat 2,000 Pounds of Food

Last year, we collected an impressive 2,000 pounds of food. This year, we aim to surpass that total and provide even more support to the JCOC. Your donations can make a huge difference!
