St. Pete Locally Grown Invites YOU to Volunteer
This post expired on March 28, 2024.
Will YOU volunteer for St. Pete Locally Grown?
Here are the opportunities that will bring Market experience to those who volunteer with St. Pete Locally Grown. We believe the small urban market is a growing industry and many folks will be / are needed to make it all happen. Come learn by doing! Did I mention that we have a lot of fun? Contact Market Manager at 727-515-9469.
- Thursday weighing and packaging fruit and produce from 1PM until 530PM (anywhere in that timeframe for a few hours)
- Thursday greeting Growers between 8AM and 5PM. You choose the hour(s) you can come. This is a great way to “know your farmers”!
- Friday morning distribution preparation. Commitment is from 7:15AM until about 10:30AM. The time flies as we have a methodical system that “gets it done” AND we have fun too.
- We are especially in need of help with Friday deliveries. As part of the delivery day, you get to be part of a tag team delivering throughout St. Petersburg and into Gulfport. You can drive or you can ride. Each shift runs from 2 to 2.5-hours sometime between 11AM & 530PM. All delivery volunteers are provided training via online phone conference. For newbies especially, we have a 30-minute phone call for orientation each Wednesday at 1130AM. Our delivery folks are forming bonds with one another and getting to meet smiling and grateful customers excited about their vegetables. YOU CAN EVEN GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS CARD. We have three 2-hour shifts to fill which run somewhere between from 11am until around 6pm. All times are approximate. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO THOSE LOOKING TO MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
