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.

Opening Day
Thursday, March 26 • 7:30 AM - 3 PM
Volunteer as a Parade Marshal for the 107th Findlay Market Opening Day Parade and help bring this iconic celebration to life. Marshals play a key role in keeping the parade moving safely and smoothly while enjoying a front row view of the festivities. All parade marshals must attend the mandatory training session in order to volunteer on Opening Day. If you love community, tradition, and a little parade-day excitement, we’d love to have you join us!
More Opportunities
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.
