About The Market:
Our primary program within our Food Bank is a Client Choice model food pantry. It allows Franklin Families to shop in our market for groceries as needed, up to twice per month, this thoughtful program designed to provide individualized grocery needs. The market is open five days a week, including two evenings and a weekend option to accommodate working families.
This bustling, cheerful market we lovingly call "Bodega Joe's" features an impressive variety of food items, including fresh produce, plenty of refrigerated and froen foods and even non-foods such as health and beauty aids, detergents, pet food and diapers. The presence of well organized and fresh food is only part of this atmosphere. There is a cozy, friendly vibe flowing through our market with music playing constantly, familiar and smiling faces and helping hands.

Additional questions?
They were there when I lost one of my jobs and still there now to support my family groceries needs mainly and a few toiletries supplies twice each month. I am so grateful and have decided to "pay it forward" by putting them on my "bills to be paid list" each month by GOD'S GRACE Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤
