August 4th-10th is National Farmers Market Week!

August 4th-10th is National Farmers Market Week! Local farmers and markets play a role in strengthening our community and fighting hunger.

Farmers markets are more than a place to buy fresh produce; they are also places where connections, education, and nourishment are built. Many Markets accept SNAP benefits, making it easier for families to access healthy, fresh fruit and vegetables.

At the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank, we are incredibly grateful for the local farmers and gardeners who donated products to help our neighbors in need. These donations not only provide essential nutrients but also bring comfort and dignity to families facing food insecurity.

This week, consider visiting a local farmers market, supporting a farmer, or donating produce to your local food pantry. Together, we can create a community where everyone can access the fresh, healthy food they deserve.
