Centre Markets is committed to strengthening our regional food system beyond the store. We believe strong food systems grow from strong relationships.

Our connections to these organizations are rooted in shared values, collaboration, and a mutual commitment to sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, and thoughtful education.

Community Support Requests

Due to the number of requests we receive, all donation and sponsorship inquiries must be submitted through our online request form.

What We Prioritize

We receive many thoughtful requests for support, and while we wish we could say yes to everything, our resources are limited. When reviewing requests, we look for alignment with the work we care most deeply about.

We tend to prioritize efforts that:

• Strengthen our local and regional food system
• Support small farmers and food producers
• Protect farmland and natural resources
• Encourage sustainable and regenerative agriculture
• Expand food access in our community
• Support agricultural education and youth programs
• Build meaningful, local connections

We also give preference to organizations and groups that shop with us, collaborate with us, or partner with local farms and producers in our network. Supporting one another is how strong communities grow.
