Farmers Market Giving Back week
Friday June 16th The Ghent Farmers Market will hold a donation DRIVE for our friends at The Samaritan House. Rain date 7/7/23. The Samaritan House will be onsite receiving these donations. They will also take this time to share informative information about their nonprofit.
The Ghent Farmers Market Will Join our sister markets, Kings Grant & Old Beach Farmers Markets in a week of Giving back!
Shedding light on those that help us right here in our communities each day. You never know if you or someone you know will ever need these services. It’s nice to put a face and organization behind all the amazing work these nonprofits do selflessly every day. At the very least we want to make sure they know; WE CARE about what they do!
Thank you for your continued support, Executive Director Lori Golding Zontini
