The East Santa Clara St Farmers' Market takes place every Wednesday in downtown San Jose from 4pm-8pm. A volunteer is needed to assist at the info booth answerin customers' questions, processing Market Money and CalFresh/EBT, and keeping the info booth area stocked with recipes and brochures. It's also a great chance to learn more about local agriculture and seasonal foods!
We're looking for long-term/consistent volunteers, but the schedule is somewhat flexible, i.e. 2 hour shifts or every Wednesday or every other Wednesday, depending on the volunteer's schedule.
We would like a volunteer who is 16 or over, and genuinely passionate about community health and local produce.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to create long-term change in local food systems, by connecting California communities with healthy food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition.
Description
Our programs empower families to make sustainable lifestyle changes by expanding their nutrition, cooking, and gardening skills, and by boosting their access to local, affordable produce.
Local farms benefit, too, as our programs make it possible for small farms to sell in communities that would otherwise lack access to their products, while helping farmers diversify their sales through guaranteed weekly orders.
This grassroots community empowerment has a ripple effect that supports small family farms, promotes sustainability and responsible stewardship in agriculture, breaks down systemic barriers, and strengthens the local economy - all while growing community interest in healthy eating.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to healthy food, and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand.
