Bundle up Campaign
As we head into Winter, the Old Town North Community Partnership will be accepting donations of much-needed cold-weather items at Sunday Market for donation to those in need. From November 23rd through December 21st, please drop off a pair of new socks, gloves, or packages of hand warmers at the Community Market Stand.
Many thanks to neighbors for dropping off a large bundle of coats last Sunday, December 7th. Much appreciated!
Many thanks to the vendors of the Old Town North Farmers’ Markets and Hank’s Oyster Bar for ensuring that none of the produce from local farms or other food items sold at the Old Town North Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market goes to waste.
At the end of the Sunday Markets, volunteers from the Old Town North Community Partnership and Volunteer Alexandria drop off produce and other food items that won’t be carried over to the next market with our friends at Hank’s Oyster Bar. Since the beginning of the year, over a half ton of fresh produce has been collected and donated to the ALIVE food hubs!
The produce and other food items are stored in a refrigerator at Hank’s until they can be picked up by the Alive team and taken directly to one of the ALIVE Food Hubs in Alexandria.
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.
Leigh of Common Hearth regularly bakes and donates bread to Carpenters Shelter and other local nonprofits, and Shane of The Rainbow Spoon donates to Lasagna Love.
