Unofficial vendors often set up tables on the sidewalks bordering the block on Isham Street where, every Saturday morning, the GrowNYC-sponsored Farmers' Market takes place.
This morning there was a "Gaza Market" table, whose proceeds go to families in Gaza.

@baslow love this idea, wondering if we could mix Palestinian products from Equal Exchange with local donated products
@Matt_Noyes
I'm not sure if this woman plans to be at the Inwood Farmers' Market next week -- she may travel a circuit around NYC. However, everything on her table was homemade and, speaking to her, I got the impression that she aims to support four specific families...so personal may be important to her.
That said, it is a replicable model, of which variations might be attempted...but I'd have to think about where best to circulate the suggestion.

@baslow I wonder if Equal Exchange might support such an initiative
@Matt_Noyes
I have the feeling that they might be interested if presented with
- a well-worked-out plan,
- sufficiently organized to insure participation ( both effort and financial support)
- on the part of enough people to keep the whole thing going...
sort of like a congregation
@baslow The image depicts an outdoor market scene with a table covered by a pink tablecloth adorned with orange tassels. The table is set up with various items, including baked goods in brown paper bags, ceramic mugs, and jars. A sign on the table reads "Welcome to: Gaza Market 100% of Proceeds go directly to families in Gaza facing hunger By The People, For The People." The sign is made of cardboard and features colorful lettering.
In the foreground, a woman in a white t-shirt is leaning over the table, engaging with a young child in a blue shirt. To the left, a man in a black t-shirt and shorts stands with his hand on the table, observing the interaction. To the right, another woman with gray hair, wearing a gray t-shirt and a backpack, is looking at a smartphone. The background shows a grassy area with trees and parked cars, indicating a park-like setting. The scene is bright and sunny, with sunlight filtering through the trees.
