Let's Welcome Spring with Free Food!

Hey there, friends!

Guess what? Our favorite groundhog didn't spot his shadow, signaling that spring is just around the corner! While Phil's accuracy is about 39%, let's channel some positive vibes and hope this is one of his accurate years.

Now, for some thrilling news at the store! We have a grant that needs to be used up by May, so we've decided to make all produce, milk, eggs, and meat absolutely free. Yes, you read it right! This offer is for everyone, but once the funds are exhausted, we'll have to wrap it up. So, don't miss out— be cool, and grab some goodies while you can!

But wait, there's more! We're on a mission to gather donations for our upcoming "Golden Ticket" program next summer. This initiative provides a $150 gift card to community members facing food insecurity. Thanks to last summer's grant, we distributed around $30,000 worth of free food to our neighbors. While there's no news on a new grant for next summer, we're working to find an alternative funding source.

And that's not all – we've got some fantastic grants in the pipeline. With the Local Food Purchasing Assistance grant, we aim to cover CSA shares for those in need through our partnerships with your favorite farmers. Additionally, we will be delivering around $80,000 worth of locally grown products to Hilltown Food Pantries over the next 18 months. Stay tuned for more details as we finalize the plans.

So, not only can you savor free food now, but we're also working on long-term solutions to support those in need. It's all about fostering our community and ensuring everyone enjoys access to fresh, nutritious food. Together, let's make a positive impact and build a stronger, healthier community. Let's welcome spring with open arms and spread the word about these exciting initiatives!

As we gear up for the next year, we're curious about your favorite produce items. Mind sharing your preferences in this quick survey? Veggie Delight Index
