Thanks a Million, Y’all!
Thanks to all of YOU, last week’s first-ever Community Brunch was a big success. The all-volunteer CulinaryCorps prepared a delicious meal for an enormous crowd of hungry neighbors and well-wishers. And because you helped us to raise some much-needed cash to maintain the health of the Market, we have decided to do something really nice for YOU.
