There are two really great things to do this Saturday, one supports shopping local and one supports volunteerism.

The Victoria Farmer's Market is celebrating its second Farmer's Market of the year AND The Golden Crescent Area Food Bank has its first community volunteering day of the year as well! 

You can choose to be outdoors and supporting local farmers, or indoors supporting the area hungry. Whatever you choose to do, we've got all the information you need right here.

The Victoria Farmer's Market, hosted EVERY Saturday through the year offers so much more than just locally grown fruits and veggies! Located at the Patti Dodson Wellness Center Parking lot, farmers and homesteaders offer a great variety of homegrown and homemade goodies. From soaps, grass-fed meats to noodles, jams, pickles, seasonings. Yep, even marinara sauces, and homemade wine. Now that's Italian!

You can find just about anything you're looking for all during your convenient open-air shopping experience!

The Victoria Farmer's Market is open from 9 am to 2 pm this Saturday, If you've never been, stop by and shop. You'll be a returning customer guaranteed!

In fact, The Farmer's Market is an official program of the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent, farmers often donating goods to the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent. They are a community helping feed everyone in our community.

Rio Grande opens its doors to volunteers to help provide the thousands of meals needed for local families in our community. The FBGC serves 11 counties in our area. 11 counties! 

Groups, individuals, adults, and children are all welcome and everyone must wear a mask. Help heal the hurt of hunger in the Golden Crescent!
