Gathering Markit is a non-profit grocery market.
Each week we secure rescued food and low-priced items that allow us to offer a selection of affordable fresh produce, grocery items, and ready-made meal kits. We provide a shopping experience that extends a helping hand rather than a handout. Our customers find community, friendship, belonging, and acceptance at the Markit. We fill shopping bags with healthy food options, but more importantly, we want to fill hearts with HOPE.
We take the stress out of budgeting and meal planning through ready-made meal kits and baking kits. Meal kits also provide opportunities for families to cook together, ideally leading to eating together around the family table. Gathering Markit offers a boutique grocery shopping experience in a beautiful, welcoming environment.
Grocery prices are rising along with gas prices, housing, and the basic cost of living. We need your help to continue offering our families, seniors, and vulnerable individuals access to affordable healthy food. We are always looking for food producers, processors, local farmers, or YOU to provide us with healthy food options or to stand with us as we tackle food insecurity with dignity, choice, and convenience. Oftentimes our families are the ones that are falling through the cracks because they do not fit the criteria of other Social agencies. We provide an option for agencies to refer those families and individuals to us for a membership. In turn, we offer our customers affordable, healthy food options and most importantly, hope!
Please join us as we strive to provide dignity, choice, and convenience around accessing healthy food.
