People should be able to access food with respect, dignity, and individual agency. Northwest Harvest’s Fruitvale Community Market allows shoppers to do just that. It is a no-cost grocery store that provides a variety of fresh produce, proteins/meats, ready-to-eat foods, pantry staples and more. Customers shop at Fruitvale just as they would at any other grocery store.
Fruitvale Community Market’s doors are open to all community members. No ID, proof of income, or residency information is required to shop with us.
Open each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Fruitvale offers community members the choice of shopping for a variety of food items.
In addition to being a source for free groceries, Fruitvale Community Market also offers a variety of services from public agencies including healthcare, housing, legal, and more.
Fruitvale Community Market is always looking for dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in building community by providing nutritious food to families in the area, Northwest Harvest would love to speak with you.

“The truth is hunger doesn’t have a certain look or demographic: hunger can happen to anyone. Hunger hurts all of us; ending hunger will take all of us. No one should feel ashamed or fear asking for help, and this model removes the stigma of hunger and strengthens our sense of community.” – Christina Wong, Director of Public Policy & Advocacy, Northwest Harvest
