Donations to Boulevard Place Food Pantry
Many of you know that Boulevard Place Food Pantry has been gleaning at our Market for over 10 years. Our vendors have made a huge difference in the lives of the clients the Pantry serves. But like other food pantries, Boulevard Place is seeing a significant increase in those seeking food assistance. Starting each Saturday thru November 22, we are asking our customers to help by donating pantry staples and hygiene items to help them out. See this list of needed items from Boulevard Place. Tables will be set up at both the south and north entrances to drop off donations.
Thanks for your help!

WHAT’S COOKING: Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble
Many of us associate sweet potato casseroles, souffles, and puddings with marshmallows and Thanksgiving. But this flavorful, less sweet recipe can be a go-to side dish throughout sweet potato season. Check it out!!
MUSIC AT THE MARKET:Squirrel ButterSquirrel Butter, a duo consisting of Charlie Beck & Charmaine Slaven, musically explore old-time, bluegrass, blues, country, & Cajun genres on the banjo, guitar, fiddle, steel guitar, step-dance, and song. We’re happy to have them back at the Market! Our musicians volunteer to perform at the Market, so tips are much appreciated!
