Are you a Vietnamese speaker looking to give back to your community, help fight for food justice, volunteer your time outdoors, or make a difference?
If you answered "yes" to any or all of the above, volunteering with the CalFresh at Farmers' Markets program at the Florin Road Farmers' Market is the right opportunity for you!
Alchemist Community Development Corporation facilitates and staffs the CalFresh EBT Processing booth at this bustling year-round market. We're looking for dedicated volunteers who want to spend a few hours on Thursday mornings helping EBT customers use their food benefits (formerly "food stamps") to shop at the farmers' market.
Duties for the Farmers’ Market CalFresh/EBT Booth Volunteers include processing EBT and P-EBT transactions, distributing scrip, collecting scrip from the vendors (farmers), and answering general questions about the CalFresh at Farmers' Market program. Volunteers will receive a 1-hour hands-on training.
- Our farm-to-fork California capital is incredibly diverse, and so is our CalFresh client base. Alchemist CDC specifically seeks Vietnamese-speaking volunteers to help communicate with both Vietnamese-speaking customers and vendors.
- For everyone's continued safety, volunteers and staff are required to wear a well-fitted face mask that completely covers your nose and mouth while at the market until otherwise determined by Alchemist CDC.
- Only available 1 or 2 Thursdays a month, but still interested? We would love to have you!
Be a part of the Farm to EVERY Fork movement and help provide food access for all of South Sacramento!

Mission Statement
Alchemist Community Development Corporation (CDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting communities to land, food and opportunity toward a vision in which all neighborhoods are vibrant, equitable, healthy, and diverse.
Description
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we rely on volunteers to help connect communities to land, food, and opportunity, working toward vibrant, equitable, healthy, and diverse neighborhoods. We offer volunteer opportunities across three programs: CalFresh at Farmers' Markets, Neighborhood Empowerment, and Community Food Connections.
CalFresh at Farmers' Markets: This program enables lower-income individuals to purchase fresh food through SNAP benefits at farmers' markets in Sacramento County. Volunteers assist with SNAP transactions, distribute EBT and Market Match vouchers, and help redeem vouchers from market vendors, making farmers' markets more accessible and equitable for all.
Neighborhood Empowerment: We work with communities to maximize the potential of existing community garden spaces to grow fresh food. These spaces provide vital resources for programs like Community Food Connections while fostering engagement, learning, and collaboration among neighbors.
Community Food Connections: This initiative delivers fresh produce and groceries directly to low-income families in South Sacramento who face barriers to traditional food distribution. We prioritize sourcing produce from local farmers and community gardens, providing nutritious food for families while supporting our regional economy.
Join us in creating meaningful connections and stronger communities!
