Celebrating 14 Years of Fresh Food! The G.I.F.T. Program continues its mission to provide nutritious food to those in need. With over 13,000 pounds of donations collected last year, the program makes a real difference in the lives of local families. The Summit Farmers Market community plays a vital role in this success, with customers and vendors generously contributing to the cause. G.R.A.C.E. (Giving and Receiving Assistance for our Community’s Essentials) partners with the G.I.F.T. Program to ensure these donations reach families on a weekly basis.
