Volunteers Needed for The Beaches Green Market & Community Gardens
The Beaches Green Market & Community Gardens Needs You!
Do you believe that healthy food is essential for ALL individuals and families?
Then, come on out and volunteer with the Beaches Green Market and/or Community Gardens on Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. for the green market or 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 Noon for the community gardens.
We’d love to hear from you if you share our love of local food and vibrant public spaces. Our volunteers come from many walks of life: market shoppers, dedicated foodies, students, professionals, chefs and restaurant staff, neighborhood activists, gardeners, high schoolers looking for community hours, and others who want to share their talents and time by helping the organization strengthen and sustain the local food economy.
Volunteers help with setup and breakdown, parking, working at the Welcome Tent, distributing information, assisting with kids’ activities, weeding, and some plant installation. We also need contributors to assist with the policy decision-making process through our Community Advisory Team and work on many other tasks vital to our effort to build a strong local food community.
Here’s what our volunteer team needs:
- Greeters: stationed at the entrance to educate customers about our protocols and assist with vendor location.
- Parking Attendants: assist customers in parking in specified areas and guide customers to entrance and greeters.
- Flow Controllers: They assist with customer flow both in and out of the market area. They ensure people are practicing social distancing and offer help where needed.
- Plant Installation & Weeding: Weeding and cleanup of Community garden beds and areas, installation of new plants, and mulching.
Overall Responsibilities:
- Be willing to wear a face covering and a Dig Local T-shirt
