Many thanks to Old Town North Farmers and Hank’s Oyster Bar for ensuring none of the produce from the local farms or other local farms sold at the Old Town North Farmers Market goes to waste.

At the end of the Sunday Market, Volunteers from the Old Town North Community Partnership and Volunteer Alexandria drop off produce that won’t carry over til next week with our friends at Hank’s Oyster Bar.

The produce is stored in a refrigerator until it can be picked by the team from Alive and taken directly to one of the Alive Food Hubs in Alexandria. 

Leigh Talbot of Common Hearth continues to share her baked goods with those in need, most recently to the Alive Food Hub.

The Old Town North Community Partnership is eternally grateful to Volunteer Alexandria for encouraging their community of volunteers to volunteer at the Old Town North Farmers Market. Volunteer Alexandria and ALIVE are two nonprofit organizations benefiting from Spring2ACTion, Alexandria’s Day of Giving.

Many of the vendors and volunteers at the Old Town North Market are also involved in additional efforts to support those in need within the community. 

Market Volunteer Shane has recently begun volunteering with Lasagna Love and Food not Bombs.
