Share Spot BFDF signup sheet

UPDATE: new position added THURSDAYS starting 7/27. We will need someone to pick up some collapsible crates OR a really large cooler from Tina's house and take them to Salt Pepper Oil to pick up donated cold meals, then bring them back to Tina's house. This usually happens around 1 pm, but there may be some slight variability in the pick up time. The Share Spot will now be in it's spring/summer location in the little park in front of the Industrial Credit Union on Northwest Ave. We will need 4 volunteers to run each Share Spot from 11:30-1:30ish on Saturdays. We need 2 people with trucks/suvs/vans to drive food and supplies to the Share Spot each week in the spring and summer. Each week in the fall/winter, we'll need one person to drive to Ferndale and pick up food from MFN and one to pick up additional food and supplies from Tina's house in Sunnyland . On Fridays, we need someone to pick up frozen soup from Salt Pepper Oil off Woburn. We also need someone to pick up food from Miracle Food Network in Ferndale on Fridays. If you are interested in this task, please let me know and I can give you all of the details before signing up. Also on Fridays, we often are contacted by Cordata Presbyterian after their weekly food share to come and pick up a few boxes of extra food. If you are able to do this task, it would involve driving out there , picking up the boxes and either driving them to the Share Spot directly on Saturday at 11 or dropping the boxes off at Tina's house in Sunnyland on Friday evening. On Saturdays, we need someone to drive out to CTK farms on Hannegan and pick up 8-12 crates of produce at 10:15, then deliver that produce directly to the Share Spot at 11 am. If you have a truck or van, we also need help driving supplies from Tina's house in Sunnyland to the Share spot on Saturday mornings. This will involve some heavy lifting with another person to get things like 1-2 large coolers into your vehicle. Tina is around to help lift things into the car most Saturdays and we can arrange for additional help on days when she cannot help lift. Volunteers are needed during the Share Spot to set up tables, sort food items, welcome and assist our neighbors as they arrive. We need someone to distribute any remaining produce after the Share Spot to the Little Free Food Boxes. Once the crates of produce from CTK farms are emptied out, they will need to be returned to CTK farms. This can happen on on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The crates can be picked up either directly from the Share Spot at 12:15 on Saturdays, or picked up from Tina's house on the other days at any time. Finally for Saturday, we need someone to help unload the van back in Sunnyland after the Share Spot, and to put any remaining frozen or refrigerated items into the fridge/freezer. For Sundays we receive a second delivery of food that is gleaned from Whole Foods. We need one person to distribute any extra produce we may have from that delivery, and another person to return the red crates to Whole Foods that the food comes in, as well as potentially delivering extra refrigerated items to Unity Village (a tiny home community for previously unhoused neighbors). The Sunday tasks can also be completed on Mondays before 1 pm. One person can do many of these tasks, or many people can work together to do them. We will work it out beforehand each weekend. Also, we need a person to deliver a second round of produce and canned goods to the community food boxes. The timing of both Sunday tasks is flexible, other than that the crates must be back at Whole Foods before 1 on Monday. Please be on time and notify us if you are unable to come as soon as you know so we can reach out to other volunteers. Thanks!
