Despite the ongoing heat wave and lack of rain, our Farmers' Market vendors continue to be extremely generous! Those who receive the food are most grateful. This morning I delivered 136 pounds of produce and bakery goods to Delmarva Community Action Center on High Street. The staff there marvels at the this bounty that they can share with Cambridge's neediest residents. The outpouring of our vendors' support for those who live on the margins is deeply appreciated!
Blessings,
