Community Table — Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scouts are excited to be back at the Worthington Farmer's Market with the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. All proceeds from cookie sales stay local - benefitting Worthington troops and local Girl Scout programming. All cookies are $6 per package, including the brand new Exploremores. Girl Scouts will also be collecting corks and medicine bottles for Columbus Recycles.

Get your Girl Scout Cookie fix at Booth #51 in the North East Corridor near the Pies & Pints entrance this Saturday through March 28!

Community Table — LOSS Community Services

LOSS Community Services is a local non-profit and community of hope familiar with the traumatic, life-changing stigma and grief that often follow a suicide. LOSS exists to be an instillation of hope to those bereaved by suicide, empowering survivors so they can thrive. LOSS envisions a community of loss survivors experiencing a restoration of hope and standing together for suicide awareness. Visit us at Booth #3 in the East Corridor (near the First Watch entrance).

This year we are focusing on a year-long initiative called WE ARE THE 135. For every suicide, 135 people are impacted or exposed, That means this is one of the most common forms of grief in this country. And one of the least talked about. To bring attention to this initiative, we are taking Hope, our Emotion Support Dragon to 135 places.

Community Table — Columbus Foodletter

Created by the founders of Columbus Food Adventures, The Columbus Foodletter is a newsletter about a world of food, a love letter to Columbus.

Stop by Booth #7 (Central Fountain) and learn more about this amazing resource for the Columbus food community!
