Join us to celebrate a major milestone for our community: the grand opening of UMMA’s expanded Harvest Market.
With more space and resources, the Market will serve even more neighbors each week—providing fresh, free, and culturally relevant food in an environment that honors dignity and choice. This expansion was made possible through the generosity of donors, volunteers, and partners who believe in building a stronger, more compassionate Lake County.
During the grand opening, guests can tour the new space, meet the UMMA team, and see firsthand how community support fuels this work. Donors and volunteers are invited to take part by giving their time, talent, or treasure—helping stock shelves, assist families, or contribute toward ongoing Market operations.
