Volunteer: January 31 Winter Artisan Farmers Market

Volunteers help vendors as they arrive (bring in supplies, collect raffle prizes, direct them to their booth location). When the event is open to the public, volunteers help with kids craft activities, keep the dining area clean, greet customers, sell raffle tix, announce winners, stand in at booths if vendors need to use the restroom, and perform other tasks as needed. To facilitate check in and raffle sales, students are asked to bring a laptop or tablet. 

South Lansing Farmers Market is hosting 60+ local artists, makers, and bakers!

Shoppers will find lots of homemade, home grown, and artisan foods, including cured meats, smoked cheeses, butter, eggs, fruit preserves, pickled veggies, sauces/salsas, soup/dip mix, spices/seasonings, local wildflower honey, natural peanut butter, elderberry syrup, sea moss smoothies, roasted coffee, cinnamon roasted nuts, fruit infused herbal teas, artisan sourdough and yeast breads, desserts.

You'll also find potted houseplants, original artwork, seasonal decorations, jewelry, pottery, wood and metalwork, sewn/knit items, natural soaps, candles, herbal household/body products, toys and games, as well as vendors offering massage, reiki, tarot readings, and henna art (Mehndi). Treat yourself or someone else!

Throughout the event we'll have live music, children's activities, and raffle drawings every 15 minutes. Our raffles are super popular because all prizes are items made by our vendors, and winners get to choose what they go home with!

Make sure you come hungry, because our international food court is fire! Choose from Mexican, Chinese, Lebanese, Polish, and Southern Soul Food dinners and a la carte items, for dine in and carry-out.

The former TJ Maxx storefront is handicap accessible, has plenty of parking, and is close to several CATA bus stops.

In addition, we request that volunteers keep track of their own hours and notify us at least 24 hours in advance of needing a letter confirming service. (Preferably on your 2nd to last volunteer shift) All service hours totals are generated from the tracking sheets. You must sign in and out for accurate counting of service. 

Policy for volunteers’ no shows.

Volunteers have a responsibility to show to the shifts they are assigned to. If Volunteers do not show for their shifts, we have a three-strike policy.

First no show: They will be contacted via email/Phone Call

Second no show: it will be a verbal warning, stating/explaining they have two strikes, and they have one last chance.

Third no show: they will be immediately removed from any future shifts and disqualified for participating in any future volunteering program.
