It’s that time of year… Our annual fundraising campaign has started!

As a nonprofit organization making local and regional produce and products available, the generosity of businesses and individuals in our community has been essential in the Edenton Farmers Market’s continued success.

 

With donors’ help, the Market:

• Makes local fresh, healthy food accessible to everyone in the community.
• Encourages small business through its local produce, prepared food, and craft vendors.
• Promotes a fun, friendly, family atmosphere.
• Provides educational activities promoting healthy living, sustainable farming, and participation in arts and crafts.
• Makes fresh, local foods available to those in need by working with the local housing authority, healthcare providers, and the NC Cooperative Extension’s Master Food Volunteers.
• Has received grant funding to supplement EBT/SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and educational benefits utilized at the Market.

 

To execute its programming—for monthly expenses (such as electricity, water, and insurance), and for general upkeep and improvements to the building and grounds—we call on the generosity of individuals and businesses who want to see the Market continue to thrive. Various recognition levels for annual donation have been established:

 

Individual Donors                                        Business/Corporate Donors         

Champion—$250+                                        Champion—$1000+

Sustainer—$100-$249                                  Sustainer—$250-$999

Member—$20-$99                                        Member—$50-$249

                  

The names of Market Champions are displayed on the donor wall inside the Edenton Farmers Market building. Because we appreciate everyone who gives to the Market, all donors are acknowledged on the Market website and in our monthly email newsletter (unless, of course, a donor asks to remain anonymous.).

 

The Edenton Farmers Market is a 501(c)(3) organization, making all donations tax deductible. Donations can be made to the Edenton Farmers Market, PO Box 754, Edenton, NC, 27932. For other options, contact the Market by email at edentonfarmersmarket@gmail.com

 

As always, we thank you for your patronage of the Market and its vendors. Your support makes a difference!
