Toledo Thursday Market

Our Toledo Thursday Market is entering its third season in southwest Washington. We work to provide high-quality locally grown and produced goods to our town and surrounding area, while focusing on community and inclusion. This year we are expanding to join the WIC, SNAP, EBT and Senior Nutrition programs. Our goal is to provide matching funds through the market to augment dollars spent in these assistance programs. Our citizens-in-need deserve access to fresh and nutritional food and we want to help! We have several providers of organic produce and eggs; a baker; herb, vegetable plant and flower suppliers; a chocolatier; and musical guests. We all work together to provide a great market experience that is kid-friendly, as well as, a weekly gathering place in the middle of our small town.   There are several folks who volunteer their time to help grow our market. We have a Website going live May 1st highlighting vendors, local activities, seasonal produce options, all with ties to local food hubs. We are hoping to find a part-time manager and someone who will help us with social media visibility.  We are moving from a tiny, informal market to one with a growing, lively and permanent presence in Toledo.  All this, plus advertising, licensing, and community outreach takes money. We are asking for your kind assistance in helping us sustain and grow this group of dedicated souls providing for our town. We are a registered non-profit, 501 (C) 26-0811286, operating under guidance of the Toledo Lions Club.
