For our social this month, we would like to invite you out to please come help us from 6-8 pm at Harvesters (3801 Topping Ave., Kansas City, MO 64129). We will be sorting and packing food.
Additional Information:
The following are important things you need to know about volunteering in our warehouse:
All volunteers must be free of any contagious illness (runny nose, colds, the flu, strep throat, etc.)
Long pants and close toe and heel shoes are required.
Volunteers wearing open shoes will not be able to serve in the Volunteer Engagement Center
Open shoes include, but are not limited to, clogs and sandals
Crocs must be worn with the back strap covering the heel
Dressing in layers and bringing a jacket is recommended, even during the summer.
Please leave all valuable jewelry at home. This includes rings which may come off in the packing process.
Parking is limited so please carpool. Visitor parking is available in front of the building and in an overflow lot across the street. If spots fill, please limit street parking to the east side (closest to the building). Please enter through the Volunteer Entrance (under the red awning).
We encourage volunteers to bring donations with them when they volunteer or to donate to our virtual food drive by following this link: http://www.harvesters.org/PlanAFundraiser. Every $1 donated to Harvesters helps provide 2 meals. In February, we are encouraging volunteers to bring no sugar or low-sugar healthy snacks, such as trail mix, fruit cups, and granola bars.
Please let me know if you would like to help and we can coordinate carpooling. We will have a sign up sheet at future Rotary meetings. You must RSPV for this event.
