About Carver Market

Community Food Support in Action

The Carver Market has served as a much-needed supplemental food source for families to survive between paychecks or when SNAP benefits don’t stretch enough to cover their grocery-buying needs. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Starting in March 2020, we went from serving approximately 350 households per month to approximately 1,500 households per month. Many of our clients faced tough choices between paying their rent and buying groceries. The Carver Market was no longer a supplemental resource – it was lifeline for parents who were out of work and children who were learning from home with no access to afterschool meals.

We brought our Carver Market operations back indoors in February, and returned to self -choice shopping. We expanded our hours to meet the growing needs of working families. We had 10,771 family visits to the Carver Market from July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022.
