Findlay Market Cleanups
Join our team of volunteers and help keep the Market District clean and beautiful! Findlay Market Cleanups are an excellent way to get involved in the community and pour your passion back into the Market. Volunteers must be 16 years old or older. Volunteers under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
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.
