    https://centrallutheranvn.dm.networkforgood.com/forms/volunteer-with-central

    If you have any limitations in lifting or activity, please note them on that form.

    Wear clothing for working outside (under canopies), and be prepared to help set up and take down canopies (sunscreen, hat). We recommend you bring a water bottle, we will have cold water and pink lemonade to refill you!

    YOU MUST WEAR CLOSED-TOED SHOES, and

    you will be required to wear gloves (we provide nitrile and food service glove options) when handling food.

    You will complete a Civil Rights orientation (5-10 minutes) before you start which prohibits discrimination / denial of food to anyone for any reason whatsoever by our volunteers.
