What goes into a program?
There is work before the doors open and after the tables are cleared. Here is what the market, kitchen and workshops need to come together.
Getting the market ready.
Food needs to be selected, tables arranged and the space prepared for browsing. During the market, volunteers welcome people and keep the displays in order. Afterward, the room is readied for its next use.
Preparing a meal or a workshop.
Before a kitchen session, we gather ingredients, check equipment and plan the meal. Before a workshop, we set out materials and shared tools so everyone can get started.
Looking after the shared space.
Cleaning, equipment upkeep and program coordination connect the weekly activities. You can focus your giving preference on one program or choose general support. Adult volunteering offers another way to contribute to the work.
