- helping count and pack leftover produce after market for free distribtion

- and much more!
Please note: our biggest need for assistance is in the mornings between 8-11 am, and afternoons between 2-4 pm, and you are always welcome to join for as much or as little time as you are able.
The Delridge Farmers Market features vendors of color from cultures across the globe bringing fresh, local, relevant food and goods to the Delridge community. We also bring in a variety of community organizations providing essential social, health, education and other services. This is an entirely non-profit enterprise - we take no cut of sales from our vendors and rely on the generous support of volunteers to assist with our operations.
Our market offers variety of food assistance programming including free local produce grab and go bags, youth grocery vouchers, unlimited SNAP matching, Fresh Bucks, WIC and Senior FMNP, youth bucks so all kids get a chance to shop for themselves, and much more to ensure free, healthy options are available for all in need. At the end of market, we purchase leftover produce from our farmers and distribute free of charge to community. We also offer delicious breakfast for all our volunteers from one of our Somali chef partners, so come hungry and share in the abundance with us this season!
