Programs & Activities
The Community Partners Food Pantry/Mobile Market and Family Advocacy Resource Intake Center's are designed to meet the needs of families facing food insecurity, housing displacement, homelessness, and other challenges within our communities. Our programs aim to bridge the service access gap and address underlying social needs. Operating weekly and monthly, they offer wraparound support through partnerships with community agencies. The market is set up in an open style to promote client choice.
The Family Markets provide wraparound services that include “Enrichment Tools” offered by partner agencies in mini-workshops lasting 20–30 minutes, with a Q&A session. Topics include:
-
Nutrition education to encourage healthy eating and living, with food demos featuring produce and products from that month’s market.
-
Human resource intake and information sessions for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
-
Healthcare information and intake for those needing medical support.
-
Youth service programs and Department of Social Services resources.
-
Healthy living training with exercise demonstrations through partners like MD Physicians Care.
-
Various informational sessions, service intake, and program materials from local, state, and grassroots agencies rotating monthly to give families access to a range of support services.
-
The Boutique offers patrons attending the market a chance to browse and receive available items which are new, gently used such as clothing, shoes, personal care and household products.
