Customer Assistance
Saturdays from 8AM-2PM (can be in shifts) May - October
This position can be a lot of fun for those who enjoy interacting with the public and it is a great way to meet new people. Working first hand with our Food Assistance Programs, you will get to see the impact they have on our community’s ability to access healthy and nutritious food. This volunteer role will serve to support a staff member or intern who will be managing the desk. Training will occur on the job and volunteers will be supervised.
Associated Tasks
Market Gleaning Program
Saturdays from 1:15-3:30PM, June - October
Beginning this year, FSFM will take on the gleaning efforts started in 2014 by the Heartside Gleaning Initiative. We will need 4-6 volunteers each Saturday from June through October. These volunteers will help collect and weigh donated produce from farmers at the end of Saturday markets to be distributed to area neighborhood residents. Volunteers must have their own transportation to FSFM and drop-off locations. If driving a vehicle, please park in the Salvation Army lot on the corner of Fulton and Fuller, not in the FSFM parking lot.
Associated Tasks
Event Support
As needed throughout the season.
With more planned than ever before, we are sure to need help setting up, tearing down, and operating some fun events this year! More information will be provided as events draw near.
