Volunteer with Us!

Woodfords Corner is community-powered

 
 

FWC hosts events and community service opportunities throughout that year that require extra hands to set up, conduct, and clean. We can't make this happen without the help of volunteers! Sign up for individual events below.

Farmers Market

Thursday afternoons May to October
2:00 - 3:00 pm or 6:15 to 7:15 pm

Spend a fun-filled afternoon of live music, local food, rotating food trucks, and your neighbors! Volunteers help with set-up, general support, and market clean up. Sign up for one market or more!

 
 
 

Serve on a Committee

FWC is run by volunteers - our committees are integral to making it all happen. Friends of Woodfords Corner is a volunteer-run organization and has multiple standing committees that meet regularly (monthly or every other month) to accomplish our work, as well as seasonal committees that plan events and daylong initiatives.

Learn more about each committee below! Email info@woodfordscorner.org if you’re interested in joining a committee.

  • The ATC Committee makes Woodfords Corner more inviting, friendly, and safe for people to walk, bike, and use the Metro. They take on multiple projects, ranging from advocating for public improvements to spearheading the Crosswalk Murals event.

  • The EcoVit Committee’s purpose is to engage the Corner’s business community and it’s customers to bolster the economic vitality of the area. Every 2 years, the EcoVit team conducts an in-depth survey and inventory of the neighborhood’s businesses.

  • The Green & Clean team advocates for and assists with the maintenance and upkeep of public space, like the plaza outside of the Odd Fellows building and Trinity Park. This committee also plans the annual Garden Tour.

  • The Resource Development Committee works to make FWC a sustainable organization through fundraising, friend-raising, and volunteer engagement.

  • Our newest committee is in charge of planning the farmers market, from recruiting vendors to dreaming up and implementing ways to make this a engaging, go-to third space for our community during the summer.
