Community Giving

we give back

We have two storefronts.

Our business, Putnam Market, Inc., is made up of Putnam Market and Putnam Wine.  We are one company.

We do business in Saratoga Springs

Our Charitable Mission is to make significant contributions to the health, educational, and cultural fabric of our community.  There are many causes worthy of support.  We focus our resources in a few areas to maximize our impact.

This year, we support Saratoga Hospital, Saratoga School District Elementary Schools, Skidmore’s Palamountain Scholarship, Yaddo, the National Racing Museum, and the Flower & Fruit Mission.

How Putnam Market gives

We consider donation requests from non-profit organizations in Saratoga Springs that meet our Charitable Mission guidelines.  Preference is given to local charities supported by our regular customers.
