Connect Site Update - Volunteers Needed! It's been fantastic to see our Connect Site really buzzing over the past couple of weeks with our new partnership with Second Bite. The donation of fresh produce, meat and other goods has enabled us to give out more to those in need, and also to provide a hot meal to people in our Cafe. Our staff have decided to trial this system over the next month:
Monday - Cafe and Connect Site open 9:30am-1pm. Hot drinks & hot meal available in cafe. Free bread and close to used-by items available for free.
Wednesday - Cafe and Connect Site Open, as well as Community Market in Function Hall. Hot drinks and hot meal available in cafe. Meat, fresh produce and other items available in Function Hall.
Friday - Cafe and Connect Site open 9:30am-1pm. Hot drinks & hot meal available in cafe. Free bread and close to used-by items available for free.
In order to help operations, we need volunteers willing to help in 3 different areas. We need new volunteers, and we need our existing volunteers to nominate how they would like to help now.
Volunteer Descriptions: - Cafe Volunteer: (Monday/Wednesday/Friday 9:30am-1pm): Making/Serving Coffee, making/serving hot meal (one hot option per day such as microwave meals, toasties or bacon & egg rolls) - Market Volunteer: (Wednesdays 9:30am-1pm): Help community members make their way around the market, monitoring community members and restocking items - Driver: (Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday between 11am-12pm): Pick up the Second Bite donations from our nominated Coles store and bring it to the Connect Site
Volunteers can be rostered as much or as little as possible. Eg. Weekly, fortnightly, monthly.
