Fresh Market Volunteer Orientation
June 3, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Monday, repeating until September 30, 2019
Volunteer at La Casa Norte’s Fresh Market! Orientations are held every Monday at 9 AM.
La Casa Norte’s Fresh Market opened on March 18, 2019, in partnership with Lakeview Pantry. The Fresh Market allows low-income residents of the Humboldt Park community to shop as they would in a grocery store, but take home a cart full of free food. Market volunteers assist clients as they shop, greet clients as they enter, and contribute to making sure the Market remains fully stocked so that all clients have access to the same nutritious food options. The Fresh Market is open every Monday from 11am – 3pm, with volunteer shift options from 9am-1pm or 12pm-4pm.
Volunteer orientations are held on Mondays at 9 AM, and volunteers may have the opportunity to volunteer for a shift the same day, depending on shift availability. La Casa Norte is located at 3533 W. North Ave, Chicago, IL 60647. Because La Casa Norte’s Fresh Market is operated in partnership with Lakeview Pantry, you will sign up to be a Lakeview Pantry volunteer on their online platform, linked here. Signing up ahead of time is recommended but not required, all are welcome at to join us at an upcoming orientation.
