- Drop off a canned good - at the Newmarket Food Pantry booth
- Buy a locally crafted ceramic mug - Made by Newmarket-area potters, these mugs will be available for purchase for just $50.00 each. These beautiful works of art celebrate the talent of our local artisan community and serve as a lasting symbol of support for food security. All proceeds from mug sales will go directly to the Newmarket Food Pantry.
- All proceeds benefit the Newmarket Food Pantry.
