Williamstown Farmer’s Market (WFM)

Thank You, Williamstown Community! 

We’re thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the Williamstown Farmers Market during our June campaign. Your generosity made a significant impact! 

Every penny donated to the Williamstown Farmer’s (WFM’s) Market will support their:

·       Food security programs including the Produce-Buy-Back purchases of leftover produce & eggs from farmers and donates them to both food pantries.

·       Community Essentials Initiative that supports their vital program, ensuring fresh, healthy food reaches those experiencing food insecurity. Through SNAP, WIC, Senior Coupons, and matching programs, to make a difference in the community.

Special thanks to Mike and Jeannie (Williamstown Farmers Market) for your efforts and stopping at the Co-op this week to receive the donation check for $2,992.80 from Netse (Wild Oats Market) featured in photo. 

The Williamstown Farmers Market (WFM) activates a central community gathering space that facilitates the connection between local food producers and artisan craft vendors.  The WFM's Community Essentials Initiative ensures that fresh, healthy food can be accessed by those in the community experiencing food insecurity through SNAP, WIC, Senior Coupons, matching programs which double amount that card holders can purchase, and a produce-buy-back program that supports farmers by purchasing leftover produce and eggs and delivering them to local food pantries.
