Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering your time and talent is a fun and easy way to support the Pike Place Market community. Each year, hundreds of dedicated volunteers contribute thousands of hours to ensure the success of Market programs and events.

For more details on any of the below, please contact us by filling out the volunteer form below. One of our staff members will be in touch with you shortly!

Volunteer at an Event

We always need help in our big events like Celebrate the Market! and Sunset Supper. It’s a great way to give back and then enjoy the events. Volunteers help with set-up, greeting guests, and more. These are large food and beverage events that are 21+, so volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. We also produce a handful of smaller events throughout the year that rely on volunteer support.

Let us know if you’d like to sign-up for our volunteer email list to receive more information about events!

ASSEMBLE EMERGENCY FOOD KITS / NO COOK BAGS

Purchase items and assemble emergency food bags to be delivered to people at the food bank. These are intended to be easily carried to feed a person for a day or two – contents need to be non-perishable and not require a kitchen for prepping.

Email info@pikeplacemarketfoundation.org to learn how to get yourself and your group started on compiling no-cook bags.
