About this event

Details

**** Please read ENTIRE event posting **** Thank you to all of the volunteers who enthusiastically participated in our first three monthly 2nd Tuesday volunteer afternoons. Next is Tuesday November 10. Each month we have some new and some returning volunteers.

Let's have fun volunteering again each and every second Tuesday afternoon of the month.

WHEN: Tuesday 11-10-26. 1:20 pm mini orientation Start @1:30 pm and end approximately 3:45 pm.

(Break of approximately 15 minutes at some point during afternoon).

ACTIVITY: We will be working as a team repacking dry food goods (cans, boxes etc.) into bags or boxes for individual food donations. Sometimes taking fruit or veggies from boxes or bins and putting them into smaller sacks. That sort of thing.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: Must be able to stand on hard floor for 2+ hours. Some walking, bending and twisting movements as needed. Very light lifting.

WHAT TO WEAR: A baseball cap or some kind of hat to hold your hair in place. (Otherwise a hair cover cap is mandatory for all volunteers handling food items). Comfortable CLOSED TOE sneakers or shoes you can stand on for a couple hours. No open toe sandals please. If you're allergic to latex gloves, some kind of gloves for food handing sanitary protocol. A bottle of water or beverage container for hydration. There is free water in bottles on site also.

Note: Depending on season, it can be warm or chilly so lighter clothes in summer and layers if you're prone to be cold. Face cover masks are entirely optional and available if you choose to wear one.

WHERE TO PARK: Parking lot spaces in front of building entrance (south side), spaces to left of entrance (west side), spaces to east closer to Kitchen Angels (east side).

ONGOING: This volunteer event is "ongoing"and will continue each month on the 2nd Tuesday afternoon going forward. No need to commit to attending each month. We will have a "pool" of volunteers. I will be seeking cohosts to help out as time goes on.

OPTIONAL: A light beverage or meal to follow at a casual venue such as Tribes Cafe on the Southside. TBD.

Thank you !
