Salem Pantry Makes the Most of Busy Season with the October Club

It’s that time of year again! And in the spirit of the season, the Salem Pantry is collaborating with local businesses to optimize their impact with the annual October Club.

The October Club is a group of Salem businesses that promised to donate a percentage of their October profits to the Salem Pantry to support their mission. The Salem Pantry, a Creative Collective member, is dedicated to ensuring the essential right to convenient and reliable access to healthy food through several programs, including their free local market and mobile pantry.

This year the October Club is comprised of 23 local businesses either selling a special item to benefit the Salem Pantry, or contributing a flat percentage of their total sales in October. We are incredibly proud to share that the majority of these generous businesses are also members of Creative Collective. Here’s a list of where and what you can shop this October to support the Salem Pantry (Collective members are starred):
