Summer Serve Opportunities:
Grace on Race St. Market

June 21, July 19, Aug 16, Sept 20, & Oct 11 

We’re looking for volunteers to help show radical hospitality at the Grace on Race St. Market! This is a great way to support local vendors, meet new people, and be part of something that builds community in a real and meaningful way.

There are two 4-hour volunteer shifts available:

  • Morning Shift: 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM

  • Afternoon Shift: 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM

Volunteers can serve in two different ways:

  • Hospitality Team: Help with set up, support the vendors throughout the day, offer popcorn and drinks to shoppers, and create a welcoming, fun atmosphere.

  • Promotion Team: Head over to Washington Park pass out flyers and invite people to come visit the Grace on Race St. Market after they’re done shopping at Washington Park.

Your time and energy will support incredible small businesses and artisans. We’d love to have you be part of it! Click the link to learn more!
