Press Release: Coldwell Banker Flea Market

Coldwell Banker Flea Market Returns to Downtown Concord

Concord and Maynard, MA (September 23, 2024) – Open Table, the MetroWest charity dedicated to fighting hunger and building healthy communities, is excited to partner with Coldwell Banker for its second annual flea market from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, in the parking lot behind its main office at 11 Main Street in Concord. A full 100 percent of the proceeds will go to support Open Table’s hunger relief programs.

Inspired by the famous Brimfield Antique Flea Market, the Coldwell Banker Flea Market is supported by the firm’s real estate agents who will be staffing approximately 12 tables featuring everything from designer handbags to decorative items to housewares. Bargain hunters will find a wide variety of decorative pieces, including lots of agent staging items, as well as art, books, and jewelry. Local band Babylon will provide live music. All sales will be cash only.

“The atmosphere was terrific at our first flea market last fall. We are looking forward to creating the same fun vibe again around this year’s event while also supporting Open Table, an organization that does so much to alleviate food insecurity in our community,” said Diana Jarvis, of Coldwell Banker, Concord. “We are inviting people with nice decorative items to donate to drop them off at our offices at 11 Main Street in Concord beginning on October 11.”

Each week, Open Table distributes bags of groceries, which include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, baked goods, and shelf-stable products, to over 300 households and provides over 1500 prepared meals to clients that hail from the Metro West suburbs. The organization offers food through its on-site drive-through model as well as a number of delivery programs. Open Table has received incredible support from the communities it serves through donations of food and funds, making it possible to continue to address food insecurity in the MetroWest area.

“We are enormously grateful to Coldwell Banker for donating the proceeds of their upcoming flea market to Open Table,” said Alexandra DePalo, executive director, Open Table. “The flea market will help Open Table fight food insecurity while, at the same time, shoppers are sure to find some great bargains”
