Stories from Give Back NY!
Rochester public Market — Facebook Page
WOW! We're thrilled to announce that you raised $1,875 for local food pantries in our community through our Give Back NY Campaign. An incredibly generous anonymous donor matched up to $1,000 making your total contribution $2,875! Donations ranged from $5-$200.
Throughout this pandemic, food banks have played a critical role in food supply, and Give Back NY was a nation-wide initiative to recognize their importance. Since donations were made via market gift tokens, this money comes right back to small businesses and vendors in the market. The Market never closed, and these vendors have been here every market day as essential workers. We're beyond grateful for all of their hard work and dedication.
Thank you everyone-- for supporting our local food pantries, local market vendors, and local community members. We're feeling the love, Rochester!
And a special shout-out to Friends of the Public Market: Rochester, NY and Farmers Market Federation of New York for facilitating this amazing initiative.
