Joyful Food Markets take place at 39 elementary schools in Wards 7 & 8, east of the Anacostia River, to reduce hunger and increase access to and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Presented in partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank, the markets are held once a month, immediately following school dismissal. These markets are joyful community events open to families with children enrolled in that school.
To run the markets we rely on the generosity of volunteers to assist our staff with the following:
Setting up & Breakdown Market:
- Physical Requirements, such as lifting boxes/items up to 30-40 lbs, repetitive bending/reaching, etc.
- Assist staff with cleaning the market area, floors, and tables. As well as, discarding trash and boxes in the appropriate areas.
Aid students/customers while shopping in the market:
- Volunteers will assist with curating a vibrant and joyful space for shopping, support demos of healthy, market-inspired recipes, assist children and families with choosing and learning about fruits and vegetables, and more!
We schedule all of our volunteers via our online scheduling system: www.marthastable.volunteerhub.com
