Westside Community Flea Market Grand Opening!

September 17th, noon to 5pm

Friends Helping Friends is kicking off a new weekly flea market for different vendors to sell wares at 333 Child Street (Jay and Child Street). We just bought our beautiful 8,000 sq. ft. warehouse with our safe & spacious indoor/outdoor market space and a fenced in parking lot. We're looking for vendors (low, low prices on tables) and are inviting everyone to come
down and check out the market! Selling t-shirts, sneakers, homemade crafts or even coordinating a garage sale? Come down and take advantage of our advertising and public forum! We're hoping to have vendors and customers from all over Monroe County.
Come down to see what the buzz is all about...

Look for our bright, colorful mural on the front of the building just south of the Jay & Child Street intersection. Call 325-7417 or email fhf2004@hotmail.com for more information.

Andrew Stankevich (andrewstan44@yahoo.com) is a Rochester activist who collaborates with neighborhoods that have few resources. He turned what used to be a Food Without Bombs program into Friends Helping Friends, which not only served supper to anyone who wanted to eat but also developed programs that served the community. After having to move earlier this year from the FHF location on Lyell Avenue, Friends Helping Friends has put all efforts into the Jay and Child Street location. Andrew has been living and volunteering at St. Joe's House of Hospitality, a shelter for homeless men on South Avenue.
