HELP OUT: North Park Farmers Market

Help North Park Main Street efficiently produce the North Park Farmers Market, a community event the supports local businesses, with their limited resources.

Volunteers assist with the day-of activities surrounding the market. These activities currently include: managing the info booth and assisting market visitors with basic questions, handing out canvas market bags to shoppers, assisting with head counts, speaking with farmers, observing guests, and helping monitor the compost and recycling use by patrons to the market. Since the City's implementation of composting, North Park Main Street has been doing their part to help educate consumers on best practices.
