The Bazaar

Introducing The Bazaar!

We are a membership-based grocery store with a small footprint that focuses on stocking fresh and local produce and meats at an affordable price point. We will have an adjoining food truck court and prepared meals from local restaurants to stock our Food Program for participating schools. We are making the promise to feed one meal to every kid in our program every single day they come in, ensuring no kid in our community goes hungry. At the heart of our project we are hoping to be a place for the community to come together at. Connecting with our members, checking in on neighbors, hosting community meals and events, and giving back at every corner is what we strive to do.
