Community Market

Community market

Formed as a direct result of the pandemic and to meet the increasing needs of our community, ECO’s Community Market has been running for 3 years supporting people to access low cost food and household items to help stretch the family budget.

Our market is held every Friday in the main hall of Yorkshire Main Community Centre 11am – 1pm and is open to anyone. There is no criteria, application form or referral required to use our market.

ECO purchases food and cleaning supplies from the supermarkets and anyone who attends can market can choose 10 of these items for £3 with the average retail price for each shop being £16, saving households £13 each.

In addition to the food that ECO purchase for the market, we also have a free table which consists of donations from Tesco’s, Morrisons and The Hygiene Bank Doncaster and include a range of fruit, veg, bread and hygiene items for people to take for free.

Our kitchen is also open for lite bites and refreshments and we have our Jumble Sale for people to pop in and grab a bargain. We are always looking for donations for our Jumble Sale as any money generated from this goes back into buying the food for the market so we can continue offering food at a heavily subsidized rate.
