“…visits have been up nearly 80 percent, as many local residents face myriad issues, including allocating money for rising heating and electric bills while cutting the amount spent on food.” – Kate Brewster, CEO

Supporting the Jonnycake Market helps to provide a host of services to our members.
The Jonnycake Market is a member-choice food pantry that provides Members with a chance to “shop” in a grocery store type setting. Annually, over 2,200 individuals rely on our food programs, and that number continues to rise. Because of your support, we are able to provide fresh produce, meats and poultry, eggs and milk, non-perishable items, cereal, bread, and a host of other items.
Routine Shopping
Members can visit the Market twice a month for a week’s worth of groceries during our regular Market hours.
School Vacations
Households with school-age children qualify for weekly groceries during school vacation weeks. This includes cereal, bread, milk, snacks, and other breakfast and lunch items.
Healthy Harvest
From July until September, members can pick-up fresh produce weekly.
Grocery Deliveries
Each week our amazing team of volunteers takes orders, packs and delivers groceries to our homebound community members. Close to 80 households are currently receiving this service.
