Capital Campaign

We've launched a capital campaign to raise the critical funds needed to bring Mill Street Market to life. This is your opportunity to be part of something truly transformative,  something that doesn’t just meet needs but reimagines what’s possible.

This is more than a local project; it's a scalable, replicable model that can redefine rural development across the country.

Your investment in Mill Street Market supports:

  • Food Security – Expanding access to fresh, local food and reducing food deserts, with full acceptance of SNAP, EBT, and other food assistance benefits.
  • Economic Development – Driving growth for small food-based businesses and creating 30+ new jobs across MSM’s three pillars.
  • Farmer Success – Providing sustainable markets and higher profits for local producers.
  • Family Support – Offering dependable childcare that enables more parents to participate in the workforce.
  • Community Vitality – Cultivating an inclusive hub that fosters pride, connection, and long-term resilience.

To make a capital gift, donate directly to the Barry Community Foundation fund and help us bring Mill Street Market to life. Every dollar brings this vison to life!

Your generosity can help shape the future of Hastings while leaving a lasting mark on our community. Through our Dedicate a Space Program, donors have the opportunity to be permanently recognized within Mill Street Market's spaces—honoring your family, business, or loved one for years to come.
