Monday farm help wanted!
Every Monday from 10-12am we have a crew of 2-3 people go to Gathering together farms in Philomath and get produce. This provides a large percentage of our produce. Regina Bumstead leads this group, but we have just lost our other two farm people. One temporarily, and one permanently. It’s nice to have people who can do it every week so we can rely on them and so they can learn the ropes. We CANNOT get the farm with one person and to lose the farm would be a HUGE loss.
Please text or call Michelle Finley 503-434-7602 if you are willing to help with the farm, either regularly or randomly. We use the van so you don’t need a big vehicle. We need someone this Monday. I would have added it to the volunteer signup genius but I just found out we needed someone.
Failure to follow these directions may result in your name being taken off and you will need to re-schedule. Please keep your personal calendar open for shopping and do not plan events around shopping time if you plan to shop and ask for us to re-schedule you. There are 2 opportunities (days) for you to shop. There are times for many reason we may ask to move you. Please be mindful we are coordinating over 150 families and just over 450 individuals.
There are also slots for our volunteers to shop mid shopping to make the day smoother and allow for our volunteers to shop the same day. Some of the names will NOT be in the correct space because they are volunteering and pre-scheduled weekly for the slot. If you have suggestions to make this program better, we welcome them.
Please be mindful that you click the proper day below-I made the title link easier (Click the day of the week to get to the sign up). Please be mindful of signing up that you will actually shop. If you shop on Saturday and skip, do not call with notice, etc you will not be allowed to shop on Monday.
Lastly, Please remember that there it is imperative to keep the shopping schedule accurate, we need shoppers to get through the shopping line without having side conversations. This is to keep the check-ins on-time and the carts in constant rotation.
