<\/a><\/p>\nEaston, PA \u2014 On Saturday, December 20, the Easton Farmers Market will host a Community Food Drive from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Scott Park along the Riverfront in downtown Easton. The collection tent will be located near the Larry Holmes statue, welcoming donations to help fight food insecurity in our region.<\/p>\n
The initiative is organized by Crystal Rose, Easton City Council Member, in partnership with the Easton Farmers Market and local volunteers. Community members are encouraged to donate fresh produce, non-perishable goods, and grocery store gift cards. Visitors can also support SNAP recipients by contributing to the market\u2019s SNAP token program, which provides tokens to families in need so they can shop directly from market vendors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe holidays are a time for giving, and this food drive is a simple way we can come together to support our neighbors,\u201d said Crystal Rose. \u201cEvery donation\u2014big or small\u2014helps ensure families in Easton have access to healthy, nourishing food. It\u2019s about showing that we care and lifting each other up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rose expressed gratitude to the Easton Farmers Market for providing space, to volunteers for spreading the word, and to fellow Council Member Frank Pintabone, Council Member-Elect Julie Zando-Dennis, Easton Farmers\u2019 Market Manager Emily Roland, and Community Volunteer Stacy Melvin for their support.<\/p>\n
All donations will be equally distributed to ProJeCt of Easton\u2019s Food Pantry, ensuring families across the Easton area have access to nutritious food during the holiday season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis drive is about neighbors helping neighbors,\u201d Rose emphasized. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to bring the community together in such a meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marketgoers are invited to bring donations, purchase items to donate from market vendors, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Easton Farmers Market while making a tangible difference in the lives of others. This will be the last market date before the Christmas holiday.<\/p>\n
