What's happening
at west end?

There's bustle in this place on Tuesday afternoons, as a field of blue tents pops up beside The LEAP Hub, offering seasonal produce and value-added products. This market has quickly become a community asset for the West End neighborhood and place for Roanoke families to gather. ALL KIDS (ages 2-17)  get $5 to spend with vendors EVERY WEEK. During many markets, a volunteer leads Story Time, an intern runs a kids activities table, or Roanoke City Public Libraries bring books to give away. It's all good, the energy and the offerings at this market. It's good for you, too.

In case of inclement weather, check LEAP's Facebook and Instagram pages for up-to-date information.
THIS JUST IN: LEAP trucker hats, winter beanies, shopping bags, cooler bags, and T-shirts in two colors are now for sale.
Also, gift certificates are available in $10 and $25 increments.
Purchase them from the market operator on site.

LOCAL food for all

West End Farmers Market doubles the value of purchases made by recipients of SNAP, Medicaid, and WIC. Shoppers let the market operater know they’d like to participate in LEAP's match programs. For every dollar spent (EBT, cash, or credit), customers receive a dollar in free fruits and vegetables. If shoppers spend $10, they receive $10 in black tokens (good for any SNAP-eligible item), and $10 in red tokens (good for produce and plants only), for a total of $20.
