El Mercadito in Maple Valley, WA, is a vibrant community initiative powered by the Urban Food Collective, dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to fresh, nutritious food. Hosted by Monica Perez, this welcoming market is open every Thursday behind Resistencia Coffee, offering free produce including fruits and vegetables generously donated to support those in need. Our mission is to alleviate food insecurity through direct food assistance, providing essential food items to the community while fostering a spirit of support and connection.
