• Market set up – tents and tables, unload deliveries
• Market Takedown – clean up, wipe tables, put tents and tables away
• Sorting produce
• Box breakdown

We set up on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m.

The first load of groceries arrives at about 8:30 a.m. time.

At 9 a.m. the rest of the volunteers arrive to begin sorting. The music goes on!

Tickets are pulled randomly out of a bucket with shopping times for customers.  The first group of 12 shoppers is asked to return at 11:05 a.m. and every other group of 12 is 15 minutes apart. Our last shopping time is at 12:35 p.m.

Our volunteers wear gloves if handling any food. Shoppers have to keep adequate distance between themselves so there is no pushing. The tickets keep the lineup short.

We have our huddle, a short prayer and volunteers head to their assigned spots to serve out the food.

Our shoppers are not allowed to touch any food but point to what they want. We have a table in front of the food items to keep a distance.   Coffee and hot chocolate are on!  Some market guests have a beverage and sit to chat.

Everything is packed up and stored. We do it all over again next week.
