Volunteering is an excellent opportunity to become more involved in the market and to support our local food system and our local farmers.

The diverse listing of opportunities, with variable time commitments, provides options for practically anyone.

If you’re a people person, consider volunteering in the Market Square. This is the community hub of the market containing the Market Information Booth, the Just Food Gleaners and Master Gardeners’ stall, the Community Booth as well as the site of musician performances and our own little café area. In the Market Info Booth, you’ll have the opportunity to assist shoppers with questions and use the EBT/debit processing machine to distribute Market Tokens. As a Just Food Gleaners volunteer, you can raise awareness of hunger in our community as well as collect much needed fresh fruits and vegetables for area food pantries.

Have a specialized skill and prefer to work behind the scenes? The market could use your help with graphic design, photography, writing or special event planning. Each of these areas offers flexible scheduling and the opportunity to use your talents to bring the attributes of the market to the attention of our community.

And for the social butterflies among us, we would love to put you to work coordinating our music program, assisting on festival days, representing the market at community gatherings and recruiting additional volunteers.

Wherever your skills, talents and interests lie, the Lawrence Farmers Market would love to have you join our family.
