DELMAR — The Delmar Farmers Market announced last week it will provide gift certificates to more than 100 needy families through the remaining days of April.
The initiative calls for distributing certificates good towards purchases at local grocery stores, restaurants and the Delmar Farmers Market. The gift cards and certificates can be redeemed to purchase food items of the recipients choice.
“This funding will really help support people in our community while giving a boost to local businesses that also need help,” stated the market’s board of directors through an email statement on Thursday, April 8. “The mission of the Delmar Farmers Market has always been to support local farmers, artisans and our community.”
Funding for the gift cards was done through an undisclosed contribution from CDPHP.
“With so many people struggling during this pandemic, organizations are working together to support those in need,” stated market directors.
The Delmar Farmers Market is scheduled to open its season on Saturday, May 1.
