We Need Your Help
2009 is off to a rough economic start across the country and the St Louis region. We are seeing large non-profits scrambling to make ends meet as state funding dries up and donations dwindle. We realize we are in a long line of community-minded organizations asking for your help in this special time of need. With that in mind, we have come up with some easy ways for you to contribute to the farmers' market and help ensure our continued operation. Unfortunately, in 2008 we ended up raising only 2/3 of the finances we needed so we have started 2009 with no money. Please take a moment to read below to see how you can help us make it through 2009.
Give $10 - Click Here to Donate Now
This is a call for all of our shoppers/attendees to give a one-time donation of $10 to the farmers' market. If you shop at the market more than once during the season, we think it is worth giving a small amount to help with operation costs. If more than one person in your household shops at the market, please consider giving $10 each. If all of our shoppers were to make this pledge, we would meet our 2009 financial target through this alone. The Tower Grove Farmers' Market is your farmers' market and we need your help to make it work. You can give easily online by clicking on the Contribute to the Market button on our Friends page. Or checks can be mailed to:
Tower Grove Farmers' Market
3877 Connecticut
St Louis, MO 63116
Give More if you Can - Click Here to Donate Now
Last year we had 213 supporters donate $30 or more to the market. Thank you so much for your generous support! If you are able to do it again this year, please do. If you haven't donated before, please consider doing so. If you give $30 or more, we have some great gifts to choose from. See the different levels of giving on our Friends page.
Volunteer
If you are financially unable to contribute, we have other ways you can help relieve the burden of operating and managing the farmers' market. We need help each week setting up the booths, the seating under the pavilion, and with the booth operation. We also need extra help at the opening and closing festivals (May 9 & October 21). If you are interested in volunteering, please email us.
Thank you again for all of your support through our first three seasons. We are looking forward to a fantastic 2009!
Our friends at KDHX Community Media are working on the 2009 Harvest Sessions lineup currently. Look for a list of top-notch acts soon!
Free Yoga will return in 2009!
Thanks to our generous yoga teacher and coordinator, Keith Mitchell for setting this up! The free weekly classes will start at 9am and run for one hour, starting on May 9.
