The White Bear Area Food Shelf is looking for volunteers to assist with the setup and distribution of our daily Community Market for neighbors to have an in-person shopping experience. There are 4 different volunteer opportunities:
- Market Prep - Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 10:00am-12:00pm - check expiration dates and quality on rescued food, sort into categories and setup items in the market coolers, freezers and shelves in preparation for distribution
- Welcome - Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri 12:45-4:15pm - as neighbors arrive at the market, distribute pagers if needed, answer questions and then welcome neighbors into the market. Volunteer must be able to pass a simple background check for this role as well.
- Checkout - Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri 12:45-4:15pm - as neighbors complete their shopping, assist new neighbors or those needing help with the weigh out process using touchpads at the scales. Volunteer must be able to pass a simple background check for this role as well.
- Restocking - Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri 12:45-4:15pm - continue to stock the freezers, coolers and shelves within the market during the shopping hours to ensure a similar neighbor experience across the open hours.
