The Season of Giving Continues: FRESHFARM Market Launches its Annual Fresh Food Drive Campaign

Friday November 6, 2026

Our Food Drive is in full swing around the Triangle, but we wanted to take a moment to share another great way to give this holiday season. Our FRESHFARM partners are once again hosting its Fresh Food Drive campaign at all its markets including the FRESHFARM MVT Market located at 5th & I Streets NW! The Fresh Food Drive offers relief for households facing food insecurity while generating vital income for farmers heading into the slower winter months. Here’s how it works:

  1. During the month of November, community members make donations to FRESHFARM at the market information tent at any market location, or online.
  2. The week before Thanksgiving, FRESHFARM purchases fresh food at market and donates it to their food recovery and emergency food assistance partners.
  3. Partners prepare Thanksgiving meals for our hungry neighbors, using fresh food from the market.
  4. FRESHFARM small farmers earn additional revenue as they head into the winter season.

Plan to make a donation on Saturdays November 7, 14 & 21 from 9am-1pm at the orange FRESHFARM welcome tent or anytime online! You can also register to volunteer at market to help spread the word about the campaign and serve up warm apple cider during market hours.
