It would involve meeting the farm truck & checking in the order, supervising a team of volunteers in prepping 10 crates of veggies, interacting with staff and residents, and clean up. The time is roughly 10 am to noon. Their maintenance men are there to move the crates in from the truck and put them on the tables. We have 4 regular volunteers who are residents who help get things set up. The 10 empty crates need to come back to St. George's. It's a great place to work & wonderful people who really look forward to our market. Contact
