Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email fsrporg@gmail.com with your interests and availability to ask about a volunteer role, or sign up for the newsletter on the contact page..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The Sunday farmers market runs 9 am to 1 pm, with vendors selling produce, bread, flowers and more, and dogs are welcome. Tai chi meets on Tuesdays in a fall session that you buy as a pass. The site does not explain how a first volunteer shift works.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email the group with your interests and availability, since the group matches volunteers to them.
  • Check the events page for current market and class dates before you go, since one listed date does not match 2026.
  • Dogs are welcome at the Sunday market.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site invites the public to volunteer and to join the board, lists its events publicly, and gives an email address and newsletter sign-up. The page does not describe a first shift..

Cost and commitment

Cost
Free. No membership fee, and donations are welcome. Tai chi is sold as a 10-class season pass, and the page does not show its price.

Access and languages

Wheelchair access
We do not know yet. Ask the group before you go.
Languages spoken
We do not know yet which languages are spoken.
Access notes
Restrooms are open Saturdays, 10 am to 4 pm, through the Rec Center entrance by the baseball field. A crosswalk at 25th and Delancey gives a safer way into the park.

Requirements

We found no special requirements. Ask the group if you are not sure.

How to reach them

We copy contact details as the group or a public source published them. Each one shows where it came from.
