Hope for the Holidays promotion raises $9,849!
What Is Hope for the Holidays?
Since 1998, Hope for the Holidays has paired fundraising and gift giving during December: we make a donation each time you buy a Hope for the Holidays product. We choose some of our favorite Game Changer, local, co-op produced, and Weaver Made products to include in the promotion.
When you shopped at Weaver Street Market this past holiday season, you made a difference by buying game changer, local, co-op produced, and weaver made products that also give back to our communities. Each Hope for the Holidays item you purchased automatically made a donation to the Emergency Food Relief Fund.
This season’s Hope for the Holidays funds will be donated to the Emergency Food Relief Fund launched by Weaver Street Market in response to the increased need for hunger relief in our communities. 100% of the funds raised go directly to support PORCH in Carrboro/Chapel Hill, OCIM in Hillsborough, and Neighborfood Express in Raleigh.

- 1,175 loaves of Weaver Made Stollen
