Outreach Update

We are excited to announce that Good Shepherd is once again partnering with Ripe Revival to sponsor the Ripe for Revival Mobile Market in our parking lot monthly through the summer. The Mobile Market is part of Ripe Revival's 501c3 nonprofit Ripe for Revival that addresses food insecurity by bringing fresh seasonal produce as well as quality dairy and protein options directly into communities most in need on a pay-as-you-are-able basis. Summer can be an especially difficult time for families who rely heavily on school nutrition programs. By sponsoring Mobile Market, we help supply food to these families, as well as others struggling to afford quality fresh food. Our location in downtown Rocky Mount is ideal for the market, providing easy access to our neighbors in need.

The Mobile Market will be at CGS every fourth Thursday during the summer from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There is usually a simple cooking demonstration and recipes provided using ingredients from the day's market selections. Add the following dates to your calendar to come check out the market, help with the cooking demo, greet shoppers, and do a little shopping yourselves!

Thursday, June 27 from 11 to 1

Thursday, July 25 from 11 to 1

Thursday, August 22 from 11 to 1
