Northbrook Farmers Market | Cherry Lane & Meadow Road

The Northbrook Farmers Market is once again asking the community to come together for Summer Stock 2026, a collection drive benefiting the Northfield Township Food Pantry.
While food donations are always important, Summer Stock focuses on everyday household and personal-care necessities that cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits but are essential for local families.
Most-needed items include:
<ul><li>Paper towels and toilet paper</li><li>Laundry detergent</li><li>Dish soap</li><li>Women’s personal hygiene products</li><li>Shampoo and lotion</li><li>Other household and personal-care essentials</li></ul>
Cash donations are also greatly appreciated and allow the pantry to purchase food and supplies where they are needed most.
“Cash donations are appreciated and help the pantry purchase food and supplies as needed,” said Northfield Township Supervisor Shiva Mohsenzadeh.
The Northbrook Farmers Market is grateful to Edward Jones–Northbrook financial advisors Magdy Abd and Saad Alhiti for their generous sponsorship of Summer Stock 2026.
“We are honored to sponsor a collection drive for the food pantry,” said Abd. “We think it’s great that our local farmers market makes this effort to help those who need assistance. It’s all about community.”
<h3>Easy Drop-Off at the Market</h3>
Bring your donations to the market on Wednesday, August 19. Volunteers will be available to help unload donations from your car—just stop by the Welcome Booth for assistance.
Northfield Township, which operates the food pantry, will also be at the market with information about the pantry and other services available to residents.
Summer Stock is part of the market’s longstanding commitment to helping fight food insecurity in our community. Every Wednesday, market volunteers collect fresh produce donated by farmers for the Northfield Township Food Pantry. Over the years, those donations have totaled more than 100,000 pounds of fresh food.
Shop local. Give local. Help stock the shelves for our neighbors.
