Community Market Volunteers

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.
