Double the Harvest: $10,000 Match for Local, Fresh

Fresh food shouldn't be a luxury—it should be a right.

"When families have access to the produce we grow, it’s not just about food—it’s about dignity, health, and community. Working with The Community Market also helps small farms like ours stay economically viable. It’s a partnership that supports local agriculture and contributes to a more sustainable, resilient food system for everyone."

— Local Farmer Partner, The Community Market

At The Community Market, we’re committed to providing healthy, dignified food choices to every family who walks through our doors. But with recent federal funding cuts affecting programs like fresh food purchasing for food banks and pantries, SNAP, and emergency food aid, we’re feeling the strain—especially when it comes to keeping our produce section stocked with fresh, local options.

That’s why one of our dedicated volunteers has stepped up in a big way. Moved by the quality and variety of fruits and vegetables available at The Community Market—and by the joy it brings to shoppers—they have offered a $10,000 matching gift to help us purchase more locally grown produce directly from regional farmers and producers.

Your gift today will be matched 1:1—doubling the amount of healthy, beautiful food we can offer to families who need it most.

Why this matters:

• Local produce is fresher, more nutritious, and supports Colorado farmers.

• Families facing food insecurity often struggle to access fruits and vegetables.

• Demand at The Community Market is up 15%—and climbing.

• Federal cuts mean fewer resources to source fresh items.

With your support, we can continue to offer farm-fresh tomatoes, leafy greens, apples, peppers, melons, and more—right here in our community, for free, with dignity.

Donate now to double your impact. Together, we can ensure everyone has access to the nourishing food they deserve.
