If you are an existing volunteer, please see where you are on the schedule and take note. If you are not yet a volunteer, please consider putting your name down. We only require Tea and Coffee, Juice AND we provide training. If we have enough volunteers, you will only have to provide this service
once or twice a year.
Thank you, Colleen Gilpin
