Gratitude Market

In 2020, this downtown Culver City art gallery flipped to a specialty market and weekly food pantry and hasn’t looked back since. While you’ll still find artisan jewelry, greeting cards and ceramics at Gratitude Market, the shop now also offers a small but considered array of locally made fresh foods and shelf-stable pantry goods, from L.A. bakery favorites like Clark Street to ethically sourced spice blends, olive oils and grains from around the world. Towards the back of the market, a curated bottle selection from queer, BIPOC and female winemakers rounds out the perfect Westside gourmet mini-mart for housewarming gifts and other upscale food needs. In addition to funding the on-site food pantry, a portion of each sale goes to shop owner Lisa Schultz’s non-profit, the Peace Project, which helps combat food insecurity among Culver City families.
