The Triangle Foodshare Challenge will be held Saturday from 8am to noon at the Carrboro, South Estes (Chapel Hill), Durham, and Western Wake (Cary) farmers' markets.
Each market hopes to collect 1,000 pounds of donated fresh food to help local feeding charities, including the Interfaith Council for Social Service. Those who would like to participate can either donate cash for food to be bought from farmer's or they can purchase food directly from farmer's to donate to the cause. Those who cannot stop by a participating farmer's market on Saturday can donate online at The Abundance Foundation's web site, theabundancefoundation.org/farmer-foodshare. Donated funds will be used to purchase food products from the farmer's markets.
For more information, please see the Chapel Hill News Article.
