In 2008, Bienvenidos Outreach became the proud operator of the Eldorado Farmers’ Market under the direction of Susan Tarver, our Executive Director. Contributions of food and monetary donations from the vendors and customers have steadily increased over the years.  The owners of LaTienda at Eldorado Shopping Center generously allow us to use their space for our market, a donation which sends the stall fees and other contributions directly to Bienvenidos Outreach.  The food donations assist us in providing fresh, healthy foods to our clients.  This Market is open every Friday from 3:00-6:00, beginning the last week of May through thru the first week of October.

This group of dedicated knitters provides us with many, many hats and scarves during the winter months.  Such seemingly simple items are so necessary and helpful for our homeless clients’ comfort and warmth, especially October through April.
