The Cully Collective Market’s mission is to bring healthy, affordable, locally produced food to Cully residents, and to provide a space for neighbors to exchange goods and culture with each other while creating economic opportunity in our neighborhood. Every week we will be creating a family-friendly neighborhood community gathering space.
Ways to get involved:
Regular Vendors*: Selling fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods
Partnership Tables*: Local businesses, non-profits, and organizations
Event Space*: Available to music, dance, drama, or cultural performances
Community Tables: Anyone is welcome to bring things to sell or trade with your neighbors—garden produce, arts and crafts, clothing, and household items (no prepared foods, large appliances, gas-powered items, weapons or livestock)
Visit the Market: Buy produce and food, enjoy music and community performances, meet your neighbors!
Ways to Volunteer:
Market Day Volunteers: We are looking for a group of committed individuals to help staff our Saturday markets. Responsibilities include help with set-up and/or clean-up of the market, directing market-goers and answering their questions, and running the Cully Collective Market info booth. We’d love it if you want to stay for the entire time (8am-2pm), but we are also looking for folks who are interested in taking 3 hour shifts (8am-11am or 11am-2pm).
Community Space & Events Coordination Volunteers: On market day, we hope to have music, community workshops, a kids' play area, and a venue to exchange ideas at the market (such as a community board, space for conversations, etc). If you have experience and/or an interest in a particular area of the Community Space, we'd love your help! Event coordination experience is a plus. We'd like your help finding arts, music, culture, and educational opportunities within our community to showcase at the market.
Outreach Volunteers: We need individuals to help us get the word out about the Cully Collective Market! We’re looking for folks with interpersonal skills and the desire to meet their neighbors. People with good phone skills who are comfortable with making phone calls and people willing to knock on their neighbors’ doors would be a good fit. Language skills (Spanish, Somali, Russian, Vietnamese) are a plus. Past outreach activities have included canvassing efforts for a neighborhood-wide survey and flier creation and distribution for a large community meeting. We are also looking to do some kid-focused outreach, so if you have experience with children as a parent or teacher, we’d love your input!
To volunteer, just send us a quick email with your name, phone number, and email address, what skills you'd like to offer, and what kind of volunteer opportunity interests you to cullycollectivemarket@gmail.com. We'll be in touch with you as soon as possible. In addition to our volunteer opportunities, we are looking for individuals to participate in the market at our Community Tables or as an Anchor Vendor. Please see the attached flier for more details.
Don't forget to tell your family, friends, and neighbors that the Cully Collective Market starts on Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 9:30am. Please be sure to forward this message along to them. Our community market will be what we make it!
