Posted by Food Trust on May 7, 2019

In case you haven’t heard, we had to reschedule our first Night Market of the season to May 9 due to impending storms. Because of the rescheduling, some volunteers who were previously available to help are no longer able to so so next week. The Food Trust is seeking volunteers to support operations for Night Market El Centro de Oro (5th & Lehigh) on May 9, 6-10 pm.
