Help us help the San Diego Food Bank

In the past we’ve had a chance to contribute to some wonderful causes and help some amazing people.  We’re back at it for this special August Market.  Only this time, we are SO fortunate to have teamed up with the unbelievably fantastic (and equally as hilarious) Jeannett from Life Rearranged.
Jeannett has created a site of charitable goodness at Life Rearranged.  She highlights people whose lives were rearranged and how they have triumphed against the odds.  Jeannett has raised over $15,000 one dollar at a time for various charities. The work she has done is outstanding.  We feel lucky to be working with her.

So here’s where you come in….we want to challenge you to help out the San Diego Food Bank. Here’s how it will work: for every can you bring to donate for the food bank, you will receive one ticket into a raffle.  So if you bring 10 cans, that’s 10 tickets!  Up for grabs?  Baskets full of products from our fabulous vendors.

Bring cans, help feed San Diego and have a chance to win! 

BONUS: For every time that you tweet, Facebook or share info about our charity, you will get another chance to win our $50 gift certificate to the Market! Comment on our giveaway post.

Pennies4Penny


Recently we came across a post on Someday I’ll Learn that touched us. An eleven month old sweet baby named Penelope was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Because insurance isn’t covering all of her treatment, San Diego has rallied around her to help as much as possible- auctions, donations, and a media blitz to get the word out. You can read more specifics and updates on the site. You can follow pennies4penny on Twitter too.

Pennies for Penny

So….what does this have to do with the Queen Bee Market? We thought that we could pitch in as well. We contacted Chelsea at Someday I’ll Learn and let her know that we’d love to help. She sent a sweet reply saying that she loved the idea and we were given the go ahead.
We will have buckets at the market to donate your pennies for Penny- every little bit helps. We would love to have you help us spread the word!
We are so happy to not only be able to host a great market with amazing vendors, but to be able to donate to worthy causes.

Pleased to announce….

After searching high and low for the right charity, we have found the perfect fit! We are so so so excited to announce that a portion of all sales will go to:
This foundation is something that speaks straight to our hearts. Mique, being an autism momma, knows first hand how important this program is.
Started by Israel and Danielle Paskowitz for their son Isaiah, Surfers Healing is a surf camp for kids with autism. The program doesn’t charge a fee but gets support from donations (like us!!).
Often children with autism suffer from sensory overload but water and the ocean have a soothing effect. At camp they get to go out surfing with a trained volunteer.

We hope you are as excited as we are!

We are so excited to be able to support a local charity. Both Mique & Jessica have found nothing brings more joy into our lives quite like serving others. We thought the Queen Bee Market would provide the perfect opportunity to give back.

By purchasing from our vendors, you are giving back to your local community. A portion of all funds received will be donated to local charities.
