    Description

    With so many events on offer during the weekend, we want to make sure that our volunteer team is properly fueled! This position is responsible for food management during the festival weekend.

    The food at the afterparties is primarily handled by the party planners, but the Food & Bev manager is available to assist.

    Primary Responsibilities:

    • Develop a system to allocate food to each festival venue, including a general awareness of dietary restrictions and allergies.
    • Manage expenses to fit within a predetermined budget.
    • Plan a community breakfast event for the closing day of the festival, with support of the leadership team.
    • Be available and on-site for the duration of the festival weekend in order to distribute food to venues as needed.

    Additional Considerations:

    • Costco and/or Sams Club Membership is a plus
    • Bi-monthly meeting with Volunteer Coordinator, with increasing frequency as festival approaches.
    • Access to reliable transportation for festival prep and during the festival.
    • We would love to have dining specials at local businesses around town. There will be a few people working on this, but if you have business connections we’d love to flex ‘em!
