Hillcrest Weekly Farmer's Market
Farmer’s markets are still categorized by the state as an “essential business”.
The Hillcrest Farmer’s Market will have a much smaller footprint with plenty of space between farm stands and will focus on farm fresh and perishable produce.
They have reached out to ask for assistance on Sundays 9:00am – 2:00pm with 10 volunteers to walk through out the market with 6 foot-long rods reminding people on the 6-foot recommended social distance and other market rules.
If interested, please reach out to Ben Nicholls.

RECRUITING LGBTQIA+ Court-appointed special advocates
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASAs are volunteers of all backgrounds who make a commitment to advocate for the needs of the child or sibling group with whom they are matched. A CASA gets to know a child’s situation, communicates with professionals on the case, and makes sure the child’s needs are being met. Over time, a CASA often becomes the most consistent person in a child’s life. At regular court hearings required for all children in foster care, our CASAs report on the children’s progress and needs, which is essential for judges to make the best decisions for their futures.
