Volunteers

The Hollywood Farmers Market would not be possible without the help of many volunteers. Volunteers sit on the Board of Directors, write newspaper articles, and keep the market running every Saturday during the season.

Being a volunteer for the Hollywood Farmers Market means meeting great people in your neighborhood, learning about the market and the importance of fresh local foods, and most of all … having fun!
