All donations will benefit our partners at Food Not Bombs – Humboldt Park and We Grow Chicago (formally I Grow Chicago). We are excited to announce we are also beginning to accept fresh produce, peanut butter, Cheerios, and used/new blankets and towels to benefit our animal friends at Chicagoland Pig Rescue.
You can find our booth right outside the market exit where we will be providing outreach and resources about veganism & animal sanctuaries, as well as selling our merchandise and providing coloring pages for the kiddos!
Children’s Story Time, art activity, and vegan snacks at the market’s exit beginning at 9am until 11am.

We start with two stories, followed by art, music, & vegan snacks. We hope to see you and the littles there.
Story Time is donation-based. Your donation makes our programming possible and goes right back into buying new books, art supplies, and snacks.
