Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill out the individual volunteer interest form on The Food Trust's site. Groups use the separate interest form for groups..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Volunteers help at a farmers market each week or support a program from the office. The site does not say how long a shift runs, whether there is training, or what a first day looks like. Expect to fill in the interest form first.
Tips for your first visit
- Fill out the individual interest form before you plan a visit, since it is the only route the site describes.
- Call 215-575-0444 to ask what happens after you submit the form, because the site does not say.
- Groups should use the separate interest form for groups.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The only way in that the site names is an interest form. The page does not say what happens after you submit it or describe a first shift, so a newcomer cannot see what the work is like before applying..
