Help to greet on food pick-up days
As shareholders in the Community-Supported Garden at Genesis Farm, we are the community. The support that we can offer is not only financial but also volunteering. We – Wendy Miller and Sheri Raupp – volunteer as the "greeter" coordinators.
Greeters are present on the weekly pick-up days – Tuesdays and Fridays. It’s not a difficult job, but it’s very helpful because it frees up the farmers to focus their energies on farming. It’s also enjoyable because it creates a welcoming atmosphere in the food distribution center and fosters communication among shareholders.
Volunteers can pick one of three different shifts: 12-2 pm, 2-4 pm and 4-6 pm. The greeter welcomes shareholders, keeps the vegetable bins filled, directs people to the "pick your own" areas in the garden, and answers any questions people may have.
