LET’S BE FRIENDS
We’re nothing without the dreamers, darers, and doers who make up our amazing team of volunteers. Want to know how you can help? Check out the descriptions of all of our volunteer opportunities below.
Welcome Center / Merchandise Booth
You’re the face of the Friends! Meet and greet market-goers with a smile and help spread the market love by answering questions, giving directions, and selling Market merch.
Open for the Season! Saturdays, May – December
Market SNAP Token Sales
Come make a real impact on the health of your Rochester neighbors. Working at the Token Exchange Desk, you’ll be in charge of “selling” Market Tokens to SNAP and food stamp customers that they can then use to put healthy, affordable food on the table.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, Year-round
Have a Gift or SNAP token question? Tokens@marketfriends.org
Market Tours
Calling all market mavens! We’re in need of energetic individuals willing to give people, young and old, their first taste of the Rochester Public Market. As a tour leader, you’ll share your love of the Market by providing information on what it’s all about—including its history and how it serves the community.
Thursday Mornings, April – October
