He's calling his efforts Marc's Market and the response has been wonderful. Each week, Marc and other do-gooders deliver fresh produce to New Bedford homes.

The bags even come with a QR code that families can scan to request future deliveries.

His school has seen his progress and shared its appreciation and pride on its Facebook page.

Marc's Market has certainly made an impact for not only the 250-plus families, but for Marc himself. He hopes to grow the market further in the future.

One thing's for sure: this local teen's senior year is already off to a great start. Keep it up, Marc!
