2015 OXCM Sponsorship Packet

OXCM is more than a market – it’s an experience! It’s a positive gathering place showcasing the
best of Oxford: fresh food, live music, healthy living, lifelong learning, and community spirit.
OXCM is a reminder: Slow down a little, take care of yourself and the ones you love.
Our mission is to foster community bonds, strengthen local economies, educate consumers,
advocate for farmers, and improve access to fresh, healthy, local, and sustainable goods for all
citizens, including those traditionally underserved.
To address food insecurity in our community OXCM:
•

Donates fresh produce weekly to Oxford Food Pantry.
Provides a centralized EBT system that allows SNAP recipients to shop with ease from all
vendors with eligible food items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats, cheeses,
honey, etc.
Welcomes SNAP customers at the Market Info Table, offering information about the market,
vendors and their products, educational opportunities, and children’s activities.
Offers free educational opportunities such as community canning classes for adults and weekly
fun educational activities for kids.
Accepts WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program Vouchers for the purchase of fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Be a champion of good health for all Oxonians! Partner with us to help further our mission to
GROW a healthier community by getting more nutritious locally grown fruits and vegetables on
the dinner tables of our friends and neighbors.
OXCM sponsorship packages offer exclusive exposure for your business and let your customers
know that you care about improving access to healthy food, educating consumers on the benefits
of good nutrition, and creating a positive community space where we can learn and grow
healthier together!
Yours in community spirit,
Betsy Chapman
