Altadena Farmers' Market No-Contact Market

Please visit the new page to apply.
Quick Overview: Volunteers are needed to help with our no-contact distribution of food to our customers and low-income senior free box recipients.
Mission or Broader Program Description: Our goal is to make healthy food accessible in the food desert of West Altadena.

Setting up tents and tables for the market
Alphabetizing customer order sheets
