Give back to your Bay Area community! Support farmers markets, food access, and education by volunteering with Foodwise.
About this Event

Make new friends, gain valuable skills, and give back by volunteering with Foodwise, the educational nonprofit that runs the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Mission Community Market in San Francisco. Foodwise depends on dedicated volunteers to support our farmers markets and education programs, which connect eaters of all ages with fresh food and local farms.

Please join us for an orientation at the San Francisco Ferry Building on Wednesday, January 28, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, to learn more about ways you can support our work to grow thriving communities through the power and joy of local food.

During the orientation, we'll cover:

  • What is a sustainable, equitable, and nourishing food system
  • Foodwise's history, mission, and values
  • Our farmers markets, food access initiatives, and education programs
  • Volunteer opportunities, benefits, and policies

Stick around at the end for delicious snacks from the farmers market and mingling with staff and current volunteers!

The orientation will take place at the San Francisco Ferry Building, in the Port Commission Hearing Room on the second floor. The Foodwise team will be available to answer your questions. To learn more about the various volunteer opportunities at Foodwise, visit this link.

Important: Please complete our online application before attending the orientation and before starting your volunteer service. We look forward to meeting you soon!
