Join Our Advisory Council and Committees

Advisory Council members do more than just attend meetings—they share ideas, make decisions, and learn from one another while working to strengthen our Saturday Market and other food access based programs. Whether you bring expertise in areas like marketing, fundraising, HR, IT, or simply your passion for local food and community, your unique perspective is valued.

The Council meets quarterly (in person or virtually) and also participate in smaller committees focused on operations, community events, fundraising and marketing, and community engagement. Along the way, members experience the joy of market days, build new relationships, and truly make a difference in Jamestown.

If you’re looking for a meaningful, collaborative opportunity to give back and grow, we’d love to hear from you!
