Volunteer at the market
Saturday mornings at Maitland Park are a chance to catch up with neighbours, meet someone new and feel part of the community. Our volunteers help make the market a place where everyone feels welcome.
Whether you can lend a hand most Saturdays or just now and then, we’d love to have you involved. Come meet some good people and help make the market a place locals look forward to coming back to.
Priority volunteer role
Tow the GGFM Food Van
Have a vehicle with a rated towing capacity of at least 3 tonnes (3,000 kg)? We’d love your help getting the food van to and from the market.
We need volunteers to collect the van from Rover’s Football Club and tow it to Maitland Park before the market opens on Saturdays, and to tow it back to the club after the market.
You can help with the morning trip, the return trip or both. We can roster different volunteers for each trip, so let us know what works for you. The Market Coordinator will confirm the towing setup and timings with you before your first shift.
