✨ Logan Heights Farmers Market —

Help Us Raise $80,000 to Build Lasting Change ✨

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the incredible support you’ve shown throughout this journey. Because of you, the Logan Heights Farmers Market is preparing for its Grand Opening on December 4th, bringing fresh food, local business opportunities, and long-needed resources to a community that has gone without them for far too long.

As we finalize the launch, we are turning to our supporters once more — with honesty, clarity, and hope. We now need to raise an additional $80,000 to fully fund the remaining infrastructure, equipment, and community programs essential to opening this market responsibly and sustainably.

This isn’t just a request.

It’s an invitation to help reshape what opportunity looks like in Logan Heights.

The Business Case — Why This $80,000 Matters

Launching a farmers market in a historically underserved area requires significant investment. The funds we are raising will directly support:

1. Infrastructure That Lasts

Professional tents, lighting, generators, sanitation, and storage

Equipment that removes financial barriers for small farmers and makers

Market assets that can be used for years, increasing long-term ROI

2. Food Safety & Compliance

Cold storage units and proper handling equipment

Permits, insurance, and operational compliance for food vendors

Safety standards that allow a diverse range of vendors to participate

3. Sustainable Vendor Support

Vendor onboarding, support systems, and reduced cost-of-entry

Training and resources for new entrepreneurs

Investment in local economic mobility

4. Community Impact Programs

Future EBT acceptance and Market Match

Nutrition education initiatives

Outreach to ensure every family knows they belong here

This market isn’t just a weekly event — it’s a community infrastructure project with long-term economic, health, and social benefits.

❤️ The Emotional Truth — Why We’re Asking

Logan Heights has existed in a food desert for decades.

Families routinely travel miles just to buy groceries.

Local farmers struggle to find spaces that believe in them.

Makers, bakers, and creators often get priced out of opportunity.

This market is being built to change all of that.

We are building a place where:

Children grow up with access to real, fresh food

Small businesses can launch, grow, and thrive

Neighbors gather, connect, and feel safe

Culture, heritage, and agriculture meet under the same sunset

This is more than logistics and equipment.

This is hope — structured, supported, and made real.

Your donation isn’t just helping us open a market.

You’re helping us build equity, fight food insecurity, and create opportunities that will benefit this community for generations.

Important Update for Vendors

Food vendor applications are now open and due by November 18th.

This deadline allows us to finalize approvals and build a strong lineup for opening day.

December 4th — A New Chapter Begins

We’re almost there.

We can see the lights, hear the conversations, and imagine the first families walking in.

But to open our doors with the dignity and preparedness this community deserves, we truly need your support.

Whether you give $5 or $500, your contribution becomes part of the story we are writing together — a story of empowerment, resilience, and community transformation.

Thank you for believing in this mission, and for helping us bring the Logan Heights Farmers Market to life.

With deep gratitude,

The Logan Heights Farmers Market Team

Grand Opening: December 4th | 4–8 PM

Location: The Soap Factory — 2995 Commercial St, San Diego, CA 92113
