Thanks to all our shoppers and community members who have visited the Fruitvale Community Market in our first week of operations and for helping us have a very successful opening. We have been seeing an incredibly high volume of visitors and to accommodate community interest we will need to make a few temporary adjustments to our process.
Our team is hard at work making arrangements and we look forward to transitioning back to our usual model where shoppers can enter the market and pick their own groceries. In the meantime, we are grateful for your understanding.
If you or someone in your community is able to volunteer to support these new processes, please email volunteer@northwestharvest.org.
What we can’t do alone, we can do together. Thanks for being in community with us.
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
