“There’s just something about new school supplies that helps kids get excited about learning, and Huntington Meats in the Original Farmers Market at W. Third St. and Fairfax Ave. is doing their part to make sure all children enjoy that excitement as the new school year kicks off. Huntington Meats' sister shop Farmers Market Poultry will also be participating in the drive. The two shops offering quality product are coming together to participate in their inaugural Back-to-School School Supply Drive to take place the entire month of August. Proprietor/organizer Jim Cascone’s goal is to collect enough supplies for 350 kids for distribution to the Union Rescue Mission in Downtown LA. Customers that visit either of the shops and donate new, unused school supplies valued at $10 or more will receive a complimentary pound of ground beef or homemade sausages from Huntington Meats, or a dozen fresh eggs from Farmers Market Poultry.” Proprietor Jim Cascone joins us providing a brief overview of the effort.
