💚 Community Partner Spotlight: The Way Station Food Pantry 💚

One of the most important parts of our market is giving back — and we’re proud to partner with The Way Station Food Pantry this season.

They do incredible work right here in our community, helping ensure that families have access to the food they need. It’s a mission we deeply believe in, and we’re committed to supporting them throughout the season.

🥫 We will be collecting donations at every market, and you can also drop items off:
📍 At the Church of The Hill office during business hours
📍 During open pantry hours on Thursdays

Every single donation makes a difference — whether it’s a few items or a full bag.

Let’s continue to show up for our neighbors and take care of each other 💚
