Pike Place Market is the soul of Seattle - we are 500 local businesses, 400 senior residents, specialized social service agencies, and thousands of local workers, artists, and friends. And the Market Foundation needs YOUR help in sustaining the future of this vibrant Market community!
In this COVID-19 crisis, our staff is raising vital funds and helping community members navigate pressing needs such as Market Community Safety Net requests, unemployment filings, food access, housing referrals, and so much more.
There are 3 ways you can help the Market community in its greatest hour of need:
1. SHOP LOCAL – Essential food business at Place Market are open and have delivery, take out and online ordering options. Flower farmers, artists and specialty shops rely on online shoppers at this time. Please be intentional on how you spend your money to help small, local businesses survive this economic crisis.
2. DONATE TO OUR MARKET COMMUNITY SAFETY NET – This fund supports individuals who live, work or access services in the Market community, are facing a sudden financial crisis and need support to regain stability. Since the COVID-19 crisis emerged 2 weeks ago, the demand has skyrocketed and we anticipate the need will overwhelm our existing system. We’ve already received more than 1,000 calls for support.
3. GIVE TO OUR SPRING HYGIENE DRIVE– Give new and unused toiletries to keep our Market community services and clients healthy in this time of need.
No matter your contribution, you can make a difference to the Market community at its greatest time of need
