Volunteer
We love our volunteers and none of this would be possible without all their help. There are all kinds of tasks available, choose one and join the team! Our regular Hamper Distributor volunteers may sign up for as many shifts per month as they wish, shifts are Tues. 10am-12noon and Fri. 10am-12noon, and until the end of May, Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm. We also need occasional volunteers to help tackle the list of random tasks pop up, whether that's picking up food, cleaning, building garden boxes, picking potatoes, unloading and shelving food drives, or preparing recipe kits. For more information, contact our volunteer coordinator, Lorna Odland, at trafbs@gmail.com or (780) 662-3511.
