Volunteer - Be a Friend of the Market

The Oak Park Farmers’ Market relies on volunteers who help staff the on-site information booth and help with special events. Referred to as Friends of the Market, these volunteers typically serve two-hour shifts. Volunteer tasks include answering shoppers’ questions about the market and vendors, helping sell Market merchandise and directing visitors around the site. For more information on becoming a Friend of the Market email farmersmarket@oak-park.us

A few things to keep in mind as you volunteer:

  • Free market parking is available in the Oak Park and River Forest High School parking garage on Scoville Avenue, just north of Lake Street.
