The Hope Market

The Hope Market is a local food pantry serving families in need in Gardner. They are open 3 days a week and need volunteers to help check in ‘customers’, sack groceries, and restock shelves.  
 
Twice a month members of our church serve together for ‘Grace Days at The Hope Market’!
