Volunteer at EBT Booth @ Midtown Farmers Market Saturday Mornings!

Are you looking to give back and get outdoors this winter? Volunteer with Alchemist CDC's CalFresh at Farmers Markets program!

Your volunteer time directly creates equitable access to fresh, healthy, local food for every Sacramento resident!

CalFresh at Farmers' Markets facilitates the use of CalFresh/EBT and Pandemic EBT/P-EBT cards at Sacramento County farmers' markets. As a volunteer, you will help debit benefits from a customer's card and help receive redeemed vouchers from farmers.

Our program operates on Saturdays at Midtown @ 20th & K Street: 8am-1:30pm

We also have opportunties at the following markets this winter

Sunday

Central Market @ Under Bridge on 8th & W Street : 8am-12:30pm

Thursday

Florin Market @ Florin Light Rail Station: 8am-12:30pm

Saturday

Laguna @ Elk Grove Laguna Gateway Center: 8am-12:30pm

Country Club Plaza @ Arden-Arcade Butano Drive Parking Lot: 8am-12:30pm

Rancho Cordova Market @ Sunrise Light Rail Station: 8am-12:30pm

Volunteer shifts vary in length from 2.5 to 4.5 hours, and can be customized to fit your schedule. All shifts are hands-on, in-person at the farmers' markets. Due to the training required to help at the EBT Booth, we do require a minimum 20 hour committment, which can be completed over a 2-3 months. We do have shorter volunteer opportunities available at other Alchemsit programs, including at our Community Gardens and Community Food Access distribution center.

Our CalFresh community is diverse, and we welcome volunteers that can speak a second language (including Arabic, Cantonese, Farsi, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese).

Give back to the community by providing equitable access to fresh food for all!
