This volunteer project will be an enriching opportunity for those interested in agriculture, food systems and ultimately food security. 

We are looking for volunteers to help us research and summarize the findings for what we're calling, 'Life Cycle Analysis' on various products we have in the marketplace. 

For example, the life cycle of mass produced eggs vs. local eggs. 
This example would include researching things like:

How long it takes for a mass produced egg to get to the store after being laid?  And what's the process of it getting there?
Versus, an egg from our backyard farmers who deliver direct to us. 

If you're interested in this project please reach out for more details. 

In search of creatives who know how to create in Canva! 

We are looking for volunteers who are comfortable using Canva and can help us with design projects we have within the organization. 

Some current projects we are looking for help on involve updating our vendor profile cards that we have throughout the marketplace, as well as helping us update our price tags and lists through out the market. 

If you're not fluent in Canva, but are interested in learning, we can show you how and get you set-up! There's no better way to learn than doing, and know you'll be supporting your local farmers and ranchers in the process. 

We are looking for volunteers to help us with tasks throughout the marketplace.

Tasks include helping clean jars for our packaging reuse program, gardening, cleaning tags, stocking the market, and various small jobs that help streamline the marketplace and support our team so we can continue to focus on food access for Central Oregon. 

We are looking for volunteers to help out on Monday's and Tuesday's! 

Local farmers bring us fresh eggs on Monday and Tuesday mornings and then volunteers help us ensure they are ready to sell. 

Egg Candling hours are from 10am - 3pm and we ask that you help for a minimum of 1.5 hours. 

Please reach out with any questions!
