For more than 27 years, the women of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church have united the community to make a meaningful difference for Savannah’s most vulnerable children. That tradition continues as The Market at 3 West Ridge returns offering three days of shopping, spring plants, and community impact.

This year’s Market on Tuesday, February 3 from 4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m., Wednesday, February 4 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Thursday, February 5 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., will feature:

  • Boutique Trunk Show: Curated vendors from across the country offering apparel, contemporary jewelry, linens, home décor, and unique gifts.
  • Spring Plant Sale: Hundreds of annuals, perennials, baskets, and containers for sale during the event, plus an expanded pre‑order selection with March pickup.
  • Homemade Luncheon: The entire luncheon is prepared and served by St. Peter’s volunteers.

In 2025, The Market celebrated its most successful year to date, contributing $71,000 to Horizons Savannah and Ferst Readers. Proceeds from the 2026 Market will support two local nonprofits making a meaningful impact for children and families:

Union Mission’s Magdalene House – Serving mothers and children experiencing homelessness, Magdalene House provides safe housing and wrap-around support including food, clothing, mental health counseling, childcare, workforce development, transportation, and case management. In 2025, the program served 36 mothers and 69 children, with 95% successfully transitioning to stable housing. Funding from The Market will help expand capacity to support 10 additional mothers and 20-30 children annually.

Loop It Up Savannah – Founded in 2008, Loop It Up brings art, mindfulness, gardening, and literacy programming to more than 11,000 children each year at over 50 schools and community centers. The organization maintains 34 school gardens, teaches cooking and gardening science, and partners with SCCPSS to offer hands‑on enrichment after school and summer programs.

Over the years, The Market has united generous shoppers, volunteers, and community partners—raising over $1.5 million for children’s programs across Savannah. Community participation continues to fuel a future filled with hope, creativity, and opportunity. For tickets and event details, visit https//themarketat3westridge.com/tickets/.
