Cooperatives succeed when volunteers from the community they serve donate their time. If you would like to help, please contact us and we will get back to you soon!
Staffing the market
Volunteering to help staff the market can be fun and is one of the best ways to help the co-op succeed. Volunteers help to run the cash register, stock shelves, organize displays, and more. See who’s helping out at the market each day on our volunteer schedule.
