GIVING SPREE

GIVING SPREE 💚

The Market has set an ambitious goal to raise $30,000 in Today funds and $15,000 in Forever funds for the 2025 Giving Spree.

At the Adams County Farmers Market, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy, local food. And together, we can make that vision a reality. Imagine a community where no one has to choose between fresh fruits and vegetables and other basic needs. With your support, that’s exactly what we’re building through our Fresh Food For All campaign.

Your support through the Giving Spree supports programs that help families stretch their food budgets, provide seniors with fresh produce, and ensure children grow up with colorful veggies on their plates. Best of all, you can actually watch your gift come come alive every Saturday morning at the market, where neighbors from all walks of life gather around food, friendship, and local agriculture!

Join us in making fresh food accessible for everyone in Adams County. Together, we can create not just a market, but a stronger, healthier community.

What should you do? If you already plan to give during the Giving Spree, please make separate contributions to both our Today and Forever goals. The impact of your support will go further than you can imagine! If you’ve never heard of the Giving Spree before – keep reading to learn more! This is a powerful day of giving for our community and a time when neighbors come together to support local nonprofits to give them a financial boost.

  • New food programs that go further to serve the most vulnerable in our community

  • Growing momentum for exciting infrastructure improvements

  • Market programs that support a sustainable environment

  • A vibrant market for years to come!

FAQs:

What even is the Giving Spree?

  • The Giving Spree is Adams County’s annual day of giving, where everyone in the community comes together to learn about local nonprofits and is encouraged to support them. The Adams County Community Foundation operates the Giving Spree, and participating organizations – like the Adams County Farmers Market – benefit from the donations! No fees are charged to participating nonprofits, and there is no fee taken from donations.

How do I donate during the Spree?

  • There are 3 ways to give:

    • Mail in a donor form to the Community Foundation office any time, starting now! Their mailing address is: 25 South 4th St. Gettysburg, PA 17325

    • Join us LIVE on November 6, 2025 at the Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel, 95 Presidential Circle, Gettysburg, from 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM. here you will be able to meet tons of folks and learn about over 100 different nonprofit organizations, including your friends at the Adams County Farmers Market!

    • Give online on November 6 any time between 12:01 a.m. and 12:00 midnight. The online donation portal can be found HERE, and is only active for a 24-hour window on Nov. 6th.

Why should I donate during the Spree?

  • Not only are your donations tax deductible, but the Community Foundation also helps make your donations go further with an Incentive Match! The Incentive Match helps all participating nonprofits. At the close of the Giving Spree, the Incentive Match is distributed to the participating nonprofits in proportion to the amount they raised during the Giving Spree. In other words, your donations to the Adams County Farmers Market go further through the Giving Spree than they would independently!

What is the difference between a Today gift and a Forever gift?

  • On the Donor Form, you’ll see that you can check either the ✓ Today box or the ✓ Forever box. If you check Today, your gift will go to the farmers market right away, to help with immediate needs. If you check Forever, your one-time gift will be added to a permanent farmers market endowment that provides grant funds for the market year-over-year, forever! (Note: Forever gifts are still just one-time gifts. Making a Forever gift does not mean you must keep donating yearly or monthly.)

When can I actually start giving?

  • Donor forms are being accepted right now! Print out your form HERE, follow the instructions, and send it in now for your Giving Spree gifts to be tallied on November 6th. Or, you can wait until November 6th to give online or join us at the live event in Gettysburg.
