Weekly Wednesday June- November Farmer's Market
Details
Description
If you are looking for a way to give back in the community between June and Thanksgiving, please consider our outdoor Farmer's Market as a hands-on opportunity to make a difference.
Volunteers who can give us two and a half hours on occasional Wednesdays 10:30 am to 1 pm are needed for our popular seasonal weekly Health Center's public Farmer's Market. You'll ensure vendors and shoppers are observing social distancing, hand sanitizing, staff information tables, and lend a hand. Bilingual Spanish/English desirable but not required. Volunteers must be COVID19 vaccinated.
Norwalk Community Health Center hosts a public Farmer's Market in its parking lot every Wednesday in season. It has provided access to fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey, and plants for the past 10 years and fills an important and growing need for our patients and in our neighborhood. The Health Center's Farmer's Market patients-only voucher program, funded by individual contributions and support from organizations, makes fresh produce more affordable as well as more accessible to food-insecure patients by stretching their food dollars. More than 700 patient families used these vouchers in 2025 to stretch their fresh produce dollar to shop at our Farmer’s Market for seasonal local produce.
This is a meaningful opportunity for an individual or for a corporate or other group that wants to rotate employees or members from week to week.
