Glenwood Sunday Market was founded by the grassroots efforts and countless hours of work on the parts of many Rogers Park community members. Now, in its 16th year, Glenwood Sunday Market celebrates helping sustain the local food system and providing a significant revenue stream for local farmers and food producers.
As the Market’s vision is to create an equitable, ethical, and secure local food system, the Food Access Program has been combating food insecurity for the past 15 consecutive seasons. They do this by matching grants to market shoppers who lack access and financial resources to fresh local food through LINK Cards and other SNAP cards benefits. All vendors accept cash and most accept credit and debit cards. LINK Cards and other SNAP cards are also accepted at the Market, with a grant match program continuing in 2025: every $25 LINK transaction will be matched with an additional $25, thanks to the generous grant from LinkUp Illinois.
Glenwood Sunday Market is a program of the nonprofit Rogers Park Business Alliance, with a vision to create an equitable, ethical, and secure local food system. Composed entirely of farmers and food artisans that work within 200 miles of Rogers Park, GSM’s mission is to make sustainable, regionally produced foods accessible to the whole community. Glenwood Sunday Market is committed to economic, environmental, and social sustainability in Rogers Park, the city and region. For more information, visit www.glenwoodsundaymarket.rpba.org.
