NARROWSBURG, NY — It takes a village to feed a village.

On Saturday, October 24, beginning at 10 a.m., the Narrowsburg Farmers’ Market will host Soup for Good, a community fundraiser benefiting the Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry. The market is located at 7 Erie Ave., behind the Narrowsburg Union.

All proceeds will go directly to the pantry’s holiday meal program.

Local farmers and food producers have donated the ingredients and food that make the event possible; donors include Willow Wisp Organic Farm, Four Story Hill Farm, Two Creek Farm, Trapani Farms, Roger That Bakery, Soraia’s Kitchen and Cakes & Scones Bakery.

The team at Union Works Café has created hot tomato soup and beef chili.

“For many households, this time of year brings added expenses on top of the everyday challenge of putting food on the table,” said Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry volunteer Erin Fairbanks. “Soup for Good is about more than just a meal; it’s a community-wide effort to ensure that everyone in our neighborhood feels cared for and supported during the holidays.” She added, “Partnering with local businesses like Union Works Café and our local farmers to turn wholesome ingredients into delicious soup is the perfect way to show how we can take care of our own while bringing everyone to the table.”

“This really is an example of what a local food community can look like at its best,” said Danielle Gaebel, market manager of the Narrowsburg Farmers’ Market. “Our farmers and food producers work incredibly hard to grow and make food for our community, and they have graciously stepped up to donate to this event. Union Works Café is giving their time and talent, our musicians are showing up, the food pantry is doing the work of getting food into the hands of our neighbors who need it.”

Guests can purchase a cup of soup or chili for $10, or a $15 meal that includes soup or chili, bread, an apple and a cookie.

The morning will also feature live music by Rewind Therapy.
