The Buy One Give One Fresh Food donation program gives customers the opportunity to give back to their community while supporting their local farmers. At all market locations you can purchase extra food from our vendors and drop it off in a food donation bin. At the end of the market day, Project Grows will take donated food to local pantries and shelters in the community. In 2021, customers and vendors donated more than 300 pounds of fresh produce through the Buy One Give One program.
The WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program also provides vouchers to qualifying low-income seniors and families participating in the WIC program. Vouchers may be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at Farmers Market locations. Valley Program for Aging Services distributed vouchers to qualifying seniors in June.
