As a Northside Farmers Market shopper, you already know the value of fresh, local food. Help us gain more ground in our mission by becoming a sustaining sponsor!
Our year-round weekly presence as a market goes beyond filling people up with delicious food. With your donation, the Northside Farmers Market is able to support & incubate local food producers AND increase healthy food access for the community. Your donation will go directly towards the following expenses we incur month to month.
Vendor Sponsorship & Mentoring - Part of our three-fold mission is to support our local food producers by providing a viable business venue. We will offer free and discounted vendor slots to start up businesses & offer mentoring opportunities from established vendors.
SNAP & Credit Card Transactions - Each credit card and SNAP transaction is a cost to the market. We rely on donations to keep providing this service to our customers and to allow SNAP customers to benefit from the Produce Perks program, making fresh fruits and vegetables affordable for all.
Rent - Yes, we pay rent! Facility rental money helps cover our storage space used, necessary electrical access, & overall maintenance of our location.
Staffing - We strive to make sure we pay a living wage to our staff who make the market possible week in and week out, rain, snow or shine.
Advertising funds - Funds are needed to continuously grow the market, which gives more access to healthy local foods and allows our vendors to grow their customer base.
Make an investment in your local community. Help keep the market a welcoming Northside staple that offers essential services for both vendors and customers each week. Become a member today and join the team of very special supporters who financially keep our mission alive, making the Northside Farmers Market one of the best markets in the city!
