We're inviting residents, schools and community groups to participate with us as Market Ambassadors on Wednesday mornings, afternoons or evenings.  There will be lots of opportunities to have FUN, while contributing to our community by helping out at the market.  Complete a Volunteer Application and contact Market Coordinator Allison Leevers for details.  We will contact you for our first Ambassador meeting in June.



*Consuming the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.  By reducing the risk of disease, you decrease health care costs, increase productivity and gives our youth a healthy start!

The Town of Steilacoom is a military-friendly community, so bring your families down and see what we have to offer you. With more than 40 vendors to choose from, we are confident you will have fun filling your appetites and shopping bags every Wednesday, starting June 19, 2019 from 3:00 to 7:00. 

SAVE THE DATE!
