Why we picked this
Tuesday market with We Don't Waste — set up, run a food station, help neighbors fill their bags, break down. Usually done by noon.
We Don’t Waste’s twice-weekly pop-up food markets bring complimentary groceries to rotating locations across the Denver metro area. Tuesday volunteers help with the full arc of the market: setting up tents and displays, running food stations, assisting shoppers as they move through with wagons, and breaking everything down at the close.
Dress for outdoor work and some lifting. The specific location for each Tuesday market is posted in the VolunteerHub registration portal. Spanish-speaking volunteers are particularly useful at check-in. The market typically wraps up before noon.
The market model is one of We Don’t Waste’s most direct interventions — surplus food recovered from grocery partners gets into community members’ hands the same week it would have been discarded. Tuesday markets serve some of the organization’s highest-traffic locations in the metro area.
