Over the past three years, more than a quarter million dollars has been raised for Grant County non-profit organizations, working together for a single huge day of philanthropy.

Join us this year at the Silver City Farmers Market on opening day, May 6 where more than 50 nonprofit organizations serving a variety of different causes in Grant County will have tables set up.

Thanks to you, last year the Silver City Gospel Mission was able to feed 35,261 hungry souls in the soup kitchen and hand out 4,892 food boxes.

For every $1.16 you give the Mission, we are able to feed one person and for every dollar we receive, .91 cents goes back into helping those we serve with the remainder going to operating costs.

And this year, Freeport McMoRan will make a donation to each non-profit raising at least $250, so please drop by or give online to help us out (you can Donate Online Right Now and if you designate that these funds are part of our Give Grande contributions, it will count towards the $250 we will need to get the Freeport match).

Here's how you can give on May 6:

IN PERSON: Stop by the Silver City Farmers' Market
Saturday, May 6 from 8:30 to 2:30, visit with the non profits and give in person via cash, check or credit card
