Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, which is held every November, is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. We are proud to be participating in this global day of giving!
In 2024, we raised $6,345 to help fund the Carte Proximité project. Thank you!
Carte Proximité is a card that supports people who do not have economic access to sufficient nutritious produce and is used as a method of payment to purchase food items at any of the participating markets, including ours. In 2024, we distributed 47 cards to individuals and families, over a period of 4 months, worth a total of $18 500. Since we had a growing waiting list during our 2024 market season of deserving people who wished to obtain one of these cards, our goal for this year's Giving Tuesday campaign is to increase the quantity of cards that we will distribute during our 2025 market season.
