Support City Greens Market - Become a Business Sponsor

City Greens is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit produce market in Forest Park Southeast (“the Grove”) that makes affordable fresh and quality foods available in our neighborhood. We support our local community by:


  • Making fresh, quality, healthy food available and affordable to community members of all income levels.
  • Supporting local farmers, especially those using organic and sustainable growing principles.
  • Providing a place for local female and Black entrepreneurs to start and grow their markets for their food- and health-related products.


We sell fresh, quality food at or below cost in order to make it affordable to all of the families in our community. We believe that good food shouldn’t be a luxury, and that all of us have a right to eat healthy regardless of how much money we have. With that, our market membership cost is based on household income. 


Because we make no profit from any of the food we sell, we rely on the generosity of our customers and the support of businesses in the neighborhood. And that’s why we need you! 


As a City Greens corporate sponsor, you can ensure that we can continue to meet the needs of our community and support a healthy local food ecosystem. City Greens Sponsors help make the Grove a healthier, happier, and a better place to live. 



Sponsor Benefits

Aside from being a tax-deductible donation, corporate sponsorship provides your employees free membership to City Greens Market. This can be a great way to show how you care about the health of your employees by giving them access to the cornucopia of local fruits and vegetables we have here at the market. It is also a great way to show that you care about the health of everyone living in our neighborhood.


Other benefits to a corporate sponsorship include: a discounted rate for patio usage, priority access to events and programming, and advertising via our website, social media, and in-store signage. See the details below.
