This holiday season, consider donating to the Dane County Farmers' Market to help those in need.
The DCFM will host a food drive Saturday, Dec. 5 through the Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin Gleaners program.
All proceeds will benefit local food pantries to help fight hunger throughout Dane County. Each year, vendors from the farmers' market donate over 12 tons of fresh products through the program, according to a statement released by the CAC Monday.
All donated items will be distributed to locations through the Dane County Food Pantry Network, and all food will be directly delivered to local households.
Community members can also help support families as well as vendors by purchasing items at the Dane County Farmers' Market.
The food drive will be held Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Monona Terrace, 1 John Nolen Dr. Personal-care items as well as non-perishable donations are welcome.
