MEND Food Drive at the Market June 21st 2PM-7PM

Join us at the Farmers Market this week, Wed Jun 21st 2PM-7PM and give back to the community. We are partnering with MEND who will be hosting a Food & Essential Items Drive at the market. You can purchase items from participating vendors, then drop them off at the MEND table at the market. Our goal is 100 items. Please help us to reach our goal and beyond!⁠

Support the vendor's at the South Orange Downtown Farmer’s Market AND communities experiencing food insecurity across Essex County by purchasing and donating fresh fruits, vegetables and essential items to MEND (Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity), Essex County’s largest hunger relief network! Donated items will be distributed to individuals and families through MEND’s network of local food pantries and mobile markets.⁠

MEND (Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity), is Essex County’s largest hunger relief network. MEND'S mission is to strengthen the health of the community by increasing access to fresh and healthy food. They envision a community in which everyone has access to nutritious food and the ability to achieve their optimal health⁠
