Community Market

 

Our community food market is FREE! We are committed to making it a full shopping experience for you and your family. We are open every Tuesday morning and the 2nd Saturday of the month to everyone who lives or works in the 66103 and 66106 zip codes. We have canned and packaged foods, meat, fresh produce, and personal hygiene items available.

First Time Shoppers

Welcome to the Community Market at The Hub! We want your first experience shopping with us to be a great one so we have provided important details below:

  • What to bring with you: Your ID, if you have it. If not, nothing!

  • Check in: You will fill our a 1 page information sheet for first time at the Market. After that, the sign in process is very simple.

  • IDs: We take IDs 1x year and we look at the picture and your name.

  • Self-choice Market: We are a self-choice market which means you get to shop and pick out all of your food and hygiene items yourself. You will get a grocery cart and will walk through the Market just like you do a store.

  • How much do I get: You will get a certain number of points to use at The Market based on the size of your family. This typically ends up being 3-5 bags of groceries, or enough to feed your family for several days and up to one week.

  • How long does it take to shop: It takes 10-20 minutes to shop once you get a cart. The longest wait is between 9-10AM on Tuesdays and the shortest waits are 11AM-12PM on Tuesdays and 11AM-1PM on Saturdays.

Hours

9am - 12pm Tuesdays

10am - 1pm 2nd Saturdays

 

 

The Market’s Transformation

It has been quite the process converting storage rooms into our new Community Market. It started with cleaning out the rooms in the winter of 2020-2021. We found a LOT of stuff—even an old gorilla costume! In the spring of 2021, volunteers installed new flooring and built new shelving which make the space functional. Thanks to a Harvesters grant, we got new refrigeration units in late spring. And, volunteers painted and organized the market in summer 2021. The final touches, teal paint, and organization all came together in the fall of 2021. The Market is now open for our neighbors to shop for their groceries. Check out the transformation below.
