Hear the stories of those we help
Valarie came to the Community Market following the premature birth of her son.
He weighed only 2 pounds at birth and stayed more than a month in the neonatal intensive care unit.
When her SNAP benefits were unexpectedly cut off, a young mother came to the Community Market to get food for her children for the weekend.
She later called to tell us that her benefits were reinstated.
An elderly man was temporarily living in his car after being released from the hospital. He shared his string of bad luck – his mother passed away while he was in the hospital and he was unable to attend her graveside service.
He broke down in tears when his food was loaded into his vehicle.
