Providing help when help is needed is a team effort. Fisherman’s Mark Free MARKet is fortunate to work with a number of dedicated and generous partners throughout the community, from large grocery stores to small markets, farm-based organizations, and other nonprofits. A day doesn’t go by when we’re not engaged with them: picking up orders, receiving deliveries, collaborating on cooking demonstrations, providing nutritional guidance to our program participants. Their contributions are integral to making Fisherman’s Mark a vital resource in our community.
Large Grocery Stores
Giant
Giant Food Stores, LLC donates groceries to our Free Market each month. They help to keep our shelves stocked so that we can continue to provide food support to our program participants.

Shop Rite offers special discounts to Fisherman’s Mark. We order from them weekly to keep our inventory updated.
Local Markets
Basil Bandwagon
