Our vision is to Preserve, Protect and Promote Findlay Market. Market Volunteers help to make this vision a reality in a variety of ways! From special events to beautification projects, community engagement to hosting tours, there are many ways to get involved and support Findlay Market initiatives.
Special Event Volunteers
Our special events are a great way to introduce new people to the market, bring life-long shoppers together, and volunteer with your friends and family. We have many events throughout the year, so click the link below to check out these opportunities.

Help us make the 2026 Flying Pig Marathon run smoothly by monitoring the course!

Findlay Market Cleanup
Saturday, April 18, 2026 – Saturday, October 17 • 9 - 10:30 AM
Help us keep the area around Findlay Market clean, safe, and beautiful! Volunteer projects will vary, and may include anything from picking up litter, to removing graffiti, to planting flowers.
Gleaning at the Market
Join the Findlay Market gleaning team to help collect, weigh, and record food donated weekly by vendors, Tuesdays starting at 5:30. Help Findlay vendors support their community in one more significant way by keeping this delicious food from going to waste, and re-routing it to a nearby homeless shelter kitchen and free fridge. You will not need a vehicle, and can get your shopping done before your shift! Contact Sue Plummer/Soc. of St. Andrew at 513-458-9808 or sw-ohio@endhunger.org.
