Lined Up and Ready to Serve
PrintOur service provider program, Mill City Marketplace, vets and approves service providers, many offering our members discounts. To qualify, service providers complete an application, are licensed, bonded and insured (if required) and have undergone a security check (if required). This list of service providers is regularly updated as new vendors are vetted and approved.
- In-Home Service Providers – Commercial or professional service provider (handyman, trade, etc.) who works within a member home to deliver a service (plumbing, house cleaning, etc.)
- Neighborhood Businesses – Commercial, retail or professional service providers that operate in or adjacent to our neighborhood
- Program Partners – Arts, educational or cultural organizations that operate in or adjacent to our neighborhood
- Specialized Businesses – Vetted like all other service providers, this category includes any business or service (e.g., private car service, tailor, cleaner etc.) that is located outside of our neighborhood but comes highly recommended by a member
