Foodwise Volunteer Orientation

Give back to your Bay Area food 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.

Foodwise is the nonprofit that runs the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, Alemany Farmers Market, and Mission Community Market in San Francisco. We depend on dedicated volunteers to support our farmers markets and free education programs, which connect eaters of all ages with fresh food and local farms.

Please join us for a volunteer orientation at the San Francisco Ferry Building on Wednesday, January 20, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, to learn more about ways you can join Foodwise in championing an equitable and sustainable Bay Area food community.

During the orientation, we'll cover:

• 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.
