Britepaths partners with Fairfax County Farmers Markets and FRESHFARM to assist community members who use SNAP/EBT so they can redeem and double their benefits to purchase fresh produce at two of the County Farmers Markets during the farmers market season.

We are seeking volunteers to staff our SNAP/EBT tables and assist customers during the 2023 season at the Fairfax County Farmers Markets in Annandale, VA:

  • Wakefield Market at Audrey Moore Recreation Center on Wednesday afternoons from May 3 to October 25 from 1:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
  • Annandale Market at Mason District Park on Thursday mornings from May 4 through November 2 from 7:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
This is an unpaid volunteer opportunity that requires volunteers to commit in advance to take a number of shifts during the market season, which runs from May to November, 2023. This is not a one-time, or short-term opportunity. Must be 18 or older and provide own transportation to and from the markets.

Volunteer service is typically two shifts per month. Volunteers are welcome to volunteer more often or at both of the Markets if they choose and there are openings available.

Contact Brenda Hernandez at info@britepaths.org or 703.273.8829 to volunteer and receive further instructions.
