UPDATE JUNE 11: NEW ROLE ADDED-CRATE RETURN. We will move to our sunny season location in front of the Industrial Credit Union on Northwest on Saturday May 9. When our normal pick up person is out, we need someone with a large vehicle to pick up food from the Meridian Trader Joes on Weds. mornings at 10 am and then to deliver that food to Birchwood Manor. Whatever food Birchwood Manor cannot use (eg extra bag of bread, box of apples, etc.) will be dropped off at Tina's to be distributed to the food share boxes, Share Spot and/or Freedge. This pick up can range from 6-12 boxes of food. We will need 4 volunteers to run each Share Spot from 10:45-12:30ish on Saturdays. On Fridays, we have a pick up at 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. Some items may need to be refrigerated or frozen. Volunteers are needed during the Share Spot to set up tables, sort food items, welcome and assist our neighbors as they arrive. We need 1-2 people to distribute any remaining food after the Share Spot to the Community Food Share Boxes. A bag of food for each box will be prepared to make distribution much easier. Saturday, we need someone to distribute any remaining food (if there is any) into the community food boxes. This will require a vehicle. During the harvest season, we need someone with a larger vehicle to return 6-18 empty crates to CTK Farm on Hannegan (next to the Hannegan Fish Mart) on either Saturday or Sunday. Crates can either be picked up directly fron the Share Spot at noon on Saturdays, or they can be picked up from Tina's house in Sunnyland and then returned. Lastly, we need someone to come out to Sunnyland and wipe down the inside of the fridge and coolers. All supplies will be provided. For all roles, 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. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks!
