We are overwhelmed with so many wonderful emotions!
Just a few weeks before the market, we were questioning whether or not we would have enough donations to provide gift assistance to the many Monroe County families who are not supported by other organizations’ gift programs.
However, because of supporters like you, we had enough items to support all of the families that asked for assistance!
After looking over the list, and checking it twice, we were able to assist more than 200 local families which totaled over 500 children. That is truly remarkable!
Check out what a Merry Market Shopper had to say about their experience!
"I’m so very thankful for all the amazing work MCUM does and this toy experience was absolutely wonderful. The deaf family I advocate for were in tears of thanks. The clothing voucher and food voucher is literally “saving the day” for this sweet disabled family. All 6 are deaf/disabled. It means the world!! I look forward to bringing mom monthly so she can “shop” [in the food pantry] for the family. Thank you. Truly." - Merry Market Shopper
