A group of Syrian refugees have started a monthly food market in Saint John, N.B., selling tradition Syrian food to raise money for other refugees. The markets are held at the Crescent Valley Resource Centre. Proceeds have previously gone towards Syrian refugee women living in Jordan whose husbands have been killed or are missing. Future proceeds will go towards providing Ramadan food hampers to refugees in Jordan.
