Looking for a few determined volunteers to help carry the Lyons Farmers Market through the rest of the season
Hi Lyons!
I'm looking for a small team of reliable volunteers to help with the final 8 Lyons Farmers Markets this season, from August 16 through October 4.
This is a great opportunity if you enjoy being part of community events, don't mind a little physical work, and like helping create welcoming spaces.
Volunteer responsibilities include:
Morning setup (7:30–9:00 a.m.)
- Measure and mark vendor spaces
- Help vendors find their assigned spots (market map provided)
- Set up the Market Information Booth
- Set up the Community Question Board
- Set up the Kids' Play Zone (blocks, toys, and supplies provided)
During the market (9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.)
- Welcome visitors and answer basic questions
- Staff the Market Information Booth
- Sell Lyons Farmers Market posters
- Keep an eye on the Kids' Play Zone and general market activity
- Be an extra set of hands if vendors or visitors need assistance
Breakdown (1:00–2:30 p.m.)
- Pack up market materials
- Make sure the park is left clean
- Help return supplies to the Market Manager (me)
The full day runs 7:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m., but I'm happy to split the day into two shifts if that makes volunteering more manageable:
Morning: 7:30–11:30
Afternoon: 11:30–2:30
I'm especially looking for people who can commit to helping consistently, whether that's every week or several of the remaining markets. Having dependable volunteers makes an enormous difference.
The Lyons Farmers Market has always been about more than buying vegetables. It's about creating a place where neighbors connect, kids play, local farms thrive, and our community gathers. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy helping steward for the rest of the season, I'd love to hear from you.
Please comment below or send me a direct message if you're interested, have questions, or want to learn more.
Thank you, Lyons. 💚
