We’re kicking off the school year on August 19th with activities from the Dolores Community Youth Alliance and 826 Valencia.

826 Valencia will be joining the Mission Community Market (MCM) on Bartlett Street for the first time! Come create your own stories with storyboards and art materials provided by 826! Next Thursday, 8/26, from Noon til 8:26, 826 Valencia will be hosting an all-day write-a-thon at their store! Come out to the MCM, grab some tasty fruit, then go energized into the write-a-thon!

The Dolores Community Youth Alliance (DCYA) will be opening their Thursday after-school food and nutrition program to all youth in the Mission – at the Mission Community Market! Come on out and bring the fam! Youth grades K-5 and 6-8 can check out the fruit at the market, buy some, and put together their own fruit creations! The tastiest dish for the least money wins! The DCYA will be hosting food-based activities on a bi-weekly basis throughout the fall. 

Bartlett Street for People Space

That is exactly what the Mission Community Market is doing. With school back in session, every Thursday the MCM will host a variety of youth and after-school programs on Bartlett Street – including arts, performance, nutrition, and play activities. Check it out! If your organization would like to bring its youth activities to a public space, drop us a line at mcm@missioncommunitymarket.org.

Support your MCM
The MCM is a non-profit marketplace that has a mission extending far beyond a market. To create a true public space for the Mission Community, the MCM needs your support and participation. Demonstrate your support by making farmers happy! Or eat dinner next to some live music! You can also donate to the non-profit online or at the market for amazingly designed pins, magnets or letters. All designs are by Rigel Stuhmiller and letters hand pressed at the San Francisco Center for the Book on 16th Street. $2 for pack of 4.

Supporters of the Mission Community Market include: The Office of Supervisor Campos, the San Francisco Police Department – Mission Station, Lower 24th Street Association, the San Francisco City Planning Department.
