Moscow Food Co-op Volunteer Program

by Annie Hubble, from the August 2002 newsletter

As the summer moves along all too rapidly, you can still find volunteers everywhere helping out the Co-op.

We see them in the deli, making our favorite coffee drinks, sanitizing the recycled containers for reuse, or making sandwiches and soups. We see them in the produce department each evening, rearranging and stocking the veggies and fruits, and helping customers with their questions. Volunteers help close the store at night, washing the scoops, putting out trash and generally making the store look spiffy for the next day.

Others clean the bulk bins, water the plants (thank you for your smiling face, Leigh), help with freight, restock spices (Tom and Pam and family are long time volunteers there), wash aprons (thank you Kate and Julie), and clean shelves.

Tim Daulton has been making that yummy Co-op granola for years now. And Sharon Harris, so graciously and with such a friendly manner, invites you to sample new products each Friday evening. And of course many, many people help with the newsletter.

What wonderful contributions you all make—and we appreciate you.

It is good to know there are so many people out there willing to lend a hand.

On that note, I want to publicly acknowledge those of you who are patiently waiting for a volunteer position. There are a limited number of jobs available, and we can only place new people when others move on.

We have all your applications on file and will call as soon as openings appear. Thanks for your willingness to help.
