We love hearing every week how the food we’re working to put on your table becomes part of your everyday life. 💚

It’s our hope that when you receive one of our meal kits, you know you’re getting more than just dinner. You’re eating local food, supporting local growers and makers, and supporting our organization with every meal you make.

And honestly, we love hearing from you. Your feedback, stories, and kind words remind us why this work matters. And it’s always nice to hear that you’re enjoying your meals, too! 😉

Thank you for letting us be part of dinner each week. 🥕🍽️

You’re Planted Here 🌱

We’re excited to introduce something new at Main Street Marketplace: Monthly Market Growers. 🌱

When you become a Monthly Market Grower, your monthly gift helps us continue growing the things that matter most right here in our community. From supporting local farmers and businesses to keeping fresh food affordable and strengthening the programs that help our neighbors thrive.

But we also want this to feel personal.

Every Monthly Market Grower will be represented by a living propagated plant on our dedicated donor wall inside the Market, a reminder that you’re part of the growing work happening here.

As a thank you for your first year of donating, we’ll give a little piece of the Market to you through a curated seasonal gift featuring local goods, recipes, updates, and special surprises.

🌱 Give Local. Grow Local. Become a Monthly Market Grower today.

Monthly Market Growers - Coming Soon!! Stay tuned  🌱

We are so grateful to the team from Daimler Trucks of North America who spent the United Way’s Day of Caring serving MSMP.

Their team built a much-needed ramp, trimmed trees and bushes, hauled away branches, and helped care for the property in ways that make a real difference for the people who call it home and our program participants.

This is what community looks like to us: each of us bringing what we have to contribute and working together to create places where people can thrive and belong.

Thank you to Daimler Trucks of North America for giving your time and talents, and to Rowan County United Way for making connections like these possible through Day of Caring. We are grateful to have you as part of our community!

🌱 A successful start to our Food Pharmacy journey!

Our Food Pharmacy kickoff brought together an incredible group of participants ready to learn, connect, and take meaningful steps toward healthier lives.

This is only the beginning. Over the weeks ahead, we’ll continue building knowledge, sharing resources, trying new foods, and creating healthy habits together. 💚

We’re so grateful for everyone who showed up, shared, asked questions, and helped make our first gathering such a success.

Fresh Finds this week at the Market!

Every Tuesday, we get to share what’s fresh at the Market, but Fresh Finds is about more than what’s on our shelves.
Every hand-picked tomato, pack of fresh chicken, and local product represents a grower, maker, or neighbor who helps make our Market what it is. 🍅🌱

This week’s Fresh Finds are here, and we hope you’ll stop by, see what’s new, and take home something fresh for your family!

Shopping at the Market means you're investing in the people and community around you. Thank you for helping us continue to grow each week! 💚

There’s more than one way to give back to your community.

At Main Street Marketplace & Meeting Place, our work is possible because people in our community choose to show up in all kinds of ways.

Yes, financial donations are incredibly important. As a nonprofit, those gifts help us provide programs, purchase needed supplies, support local families, create opportunities, and continue doing the work our community depends on.

But giving doesn’t always have to come from your wallet. Your time, energy, skills, and willingness to help are just as valuable. ❤️

You can make a difference by:

🥕 Volunteering with Food Pharmacy and helping pack nutritious food kits for participants.

📦 Volunteering at the Marketplace to help unload and restock weekly produce deliveries.

🛒 Purchasing an item from our Food Pharmacy Amazon Wishlist to help provide supplies for upcoming classes.

🍽️ Providing a meal for Getting Ahead North in Salisbury or Getting Ahead South in China Grove and helping create a welcoming space where participants can gather around the table before class.

Being part of a community means more than simply living in the same place. It means noticing what is needed, finding a way to contribute, and understanding that each of us has something valuable to give.

When local people choose to support local nonprofits, that generosity stays close to home by strengthening programs, building relationships, creating opportunities, and helping our neighbors thrive.

Ready to get involved? Explore one of our current volunteer, meal donation, wishlist, or giving opportunities and find the way that works for you.
