Doing our part
Helping Families In Need
We partner with Northfield Township Food Pantry to collect fresh fruits and vegetables for their clients. At the end of each market day volunteers collect fresh, locally grown produce donated by our farmers. The hard-working volunteers bring the food to the pantry every Wednesday afternoon, where clients are lined up in anticipation of receiving the fresh produce. At our Summer Stock Day we also collect dry goods to restock food pantry shelves with much needed items such as toilet paper, diapers and paper towels. Are you interested in helping?
