VOLunteer with us

Volunteers are what make our markets feel like community—not just an event. When you show up, you’re helping keep things moving, welcoming, and accessible for everyone who walks through.

Step into a market day

There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes magic, and you’ll be right in the middle of it.

You might:

​

  • Help set up or break down the market

  • Support special events and activities

  • Greet and support folks at the Information Booth

  • Collect surveys and customer counts

  • Assist with gathering social media content

  • Run vendor booths while they take breaks

​

​

Markets take real energy to bring to life each week, and we rely on neighbors like you to make it happen!

Volunteer days are open to individuals, groups, and families. If you’re under 18, you’ll need to attend with a guardian, and a separate liability waiver will be required.
