In Our Community

Women Owned Business Market

On March 8th, in celebration of International Women's Day, The Common Market welcomed 8 local business owners to our first ever Women Owned Business Market! We were so grateful for the opportunity to highlight these businesses that help our community thrive.

Clothing Swap

Our first ever drop-in clothing swap was a big success! Both store locations welcomed folks to bring in their unwanted clothing - and take some home! Leftover donations were taken to the Frederick Rescue Mission, so we are confident that they're going to good use. Clothing swaps are a great, eco-friendly way to clean out your closet and freshen up your wardrobe! Keep an eye out for more in the future.

Bring-a-Bag Donations

Thanks to everyone who brings reusable bags to the checkout, our Bring-a-Bag for Change program is going strong! Every time you bring your reusable bag, we donate 5¢ to a local non-profit. These nickels add up to big donations every quarter; including $639 to Potomac Conservancy, just in time for Earth Day!

Plant-a-Palooza!

Even the rainy weather couldn’t put a damper on Common Market’s Plant A Palooza event, held Saturday April 15 at the Rt. 85 store. At this Earth-Month event, shoppers enjoyed chatting with local farmers and growers about micro greens, flowers, veggie and herb seedlings; learning about Pitt Moss and why it should always be substituted for peat moss, eating free South Mountain Creamery ice cream, connecting with eco-minded community partners and learning how to build with pallet wood. By the end of the event, the sun had come out, the live band continued to play, and everyone left with a smile!
