Who Can Benefit from the Family Market?
The Family Market warmly welcomes families residing in Guilford County who have children under the age of 18 living at home. We are dedicated to supporting our community by providing access to essential resources.
Scheduling Your Visit to the Family Market
To ensure a smooth and efficient experience for everyone, we kindly request that you schedule an appointment before visiting the Family Market. You can easily schedule, reschedule, or cancel your appointment using the green button provided below. After your initial visit, our online system will allow you to book another appointment 30 days after your last visit, ensuring fair access for all families.
Please allocate some extra time during your first visit. This will allow our team to gather necessary household information as required by the Second Harvest Food Bank. Rest assured, we do not require IDs or information regarding immigration status.

Understanding Our No-Show Policy
To help us make Family Market appointments available to as many families as possible, we sincerely request that you reschedule or cancel your appointment online if you are unable to attend. This simple step allows another family in need to utilize the time slot.
Failure to reschedule or cancel your appointment will be recorded as a “no-show” in our system. Accumulating 3 no-shows will result in your account being placed “under review.” At this point, a member of our staff will reach out to you to discuss your situation. If no-shows continue, your account may be temporarily paused. In such cases, our team will connect you with other resources that might be a better fit for your schedule and needs.
Are you facing challenges in meeting the basic needs of your children? If so, please click the green button below to schedule an appointment and explore how the Family Market can support you.

What to Expect from Market Supplies
The Family Market relies heavily on the generosity of donations to stock our shelves. Due to the nature of donations, we are unable to guarantee the availability of specific items at any given time. We encourage you to take what you need and kindly leave items you don’t require for other families in our community. Please remember that all donated items are intended for personal use and cannot be sold, traded, bartered, or returned to stores.
Our primary mission is to support children within our community. Therefore, please be aware that any non-food items available at the Family Market are specifically intended for children.
