The West End Food Co-op is putting out a call to volunteers to help in our 2010 projects! There have been many community members actively helping out at the farmer’s market, and many more who have signed up as potential volunteers.
Here are some of the specific areas we need help with now. These areas may change as the co-op continues to grow. If there are other talents and skills that you’d like to use, please let us know on the volunteer sign-up sheet below.
