We are proud to be the corporate sponsor of The Downtown Farmers Market, held in Clinton Square every Tuesday 8am to 2pm from June 11 through October 8. Throughout the growing season, The Market features local farmers and produce dealers each week, selling fresh, seasonal vegetables, fruits, baked goods, flowers, plants, and more (please note, there will be no September 3rd market due to the Labor Day holiday). Each week, the Market features a "Lunchtime Live Music Series" (11:30am - 1:30pm) performance presented by CNY Arts, Inc. and State University of New York at Oswego. Come on down!

We’re thrilled to announce our support for the Faith in Action Volunteers of The Broome County Council of Churches Chop & Chat Program! This amazing initiative is tackling food insecurity and social isolation by bringing fresh ingredients and delicious vegetarian recipes to senior centers twice a month. During each session, participants chop their produce while enjoying lively conversations with one another, fostering friendships and community connections. Plus, they get to take their prepared ingredients home to create healthy meals! Together, we’re helping to nourish both bodies and souls!
