The downtown Waterloo farmers market has been in our community for many years. In 2018, a board of market vendors, business owners, community members, and organizations came together to achieve a common goal, enhancing our Saturday morning market.

As the board of the Waterloo Urban Farmers Market reflects on another remarkable year, we invite you to be a part of our year-end giving campaign, supporting a cause that has touched the lives of many in our community.

The Waterloo Urban Farmers Market is not just a market; it is a community hub that thrives every Saturday from May through October from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the RiverLoop Expo Plaza. We are proud to have achieved an average attendance of nearly 1,000 weekly shoppers, and it is through the dedication of donors like you that we have managed to make this gathering a resounding success.

Our mission to provide access to fresh, healthy, and locally-produced food to all members of our community goes beyond the stalls of the market. We are committed to making a meaningful impact through our weekly community programs that include free children's activities, health education, and food assistance benefits.

Participation in food assistance programs, including SNAP/EBT, Double Up Food Bucks, Veggie Vouchers, and WIC/Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers are critical in making fresh, healthy foods accessible for many low-income shoppers and position the market to serve all citizens regardless of economic status. Your support directly contributes to these essential programs, providing a service for those who need it most.

Your donation, whether big or small, will go a long way in enhancing our ability to continue these programs, support our local farmers and small businesses, and make a lasting impact on the well-being of our community.

Your support ensures that the Waterloo Urban Farmers Market remains a beacon of hope, nourishment, and community to all.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to your participation in our journey towards a brighter, healthier, and more inclusive future. Should you have any questions or need more information about how your contribution will be utilized, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
