Foodwise Volunteer Orientation
Saturday, May 10, 2025, 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Volunteer Orientation Ferry Plaza
Make new friends, gain valuable skills, and give back by volunteering with Foodwise, the educational nonprofit that runs the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Mission Community Market in San Francisco. Foodwise depends on dedicated volunteers to support our farmers markets and education programs, which connect eaters of all ages with fresh food and local farms.
Please join us for an orientation at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturday, May 10, from 10 to 11 am, to learn more about ways you can support our mission to grow thriving communities through the power and joy of local food. Please meet at the Foodwise Classroom (green tent in front of the Ferry Building) at 10 am.
During the orientation, we’ll cover:
- What is a sustainable, equitable, and nourishing food system
- Foodwise’s history, mission, and values
- Our farmers markets, food access initiatives, and education programs
- Volunteer opportunities, benefits, and policies
We’ll have snacks from the farmers market, and the Foodwise team will be available to answer your questions. To learn more about the various volunteer opportunities at Foodwise, visit this link.
