Farmers Market Volunteers R-W Booth
We are looking for people who enjoy sharing stories about who Robertson-Wesley is and how we serve the community. During the months of June - mid Oct, 102 Ave is closed off for the 124St Market which runs from 11 AM - 3 PM. Robertson-Wesley has a booth at the Market, we invite people to hear about what R-W does and offers the community. We also enjoy hearing from the community how they see R-W. We like to have 2 people at the booth, and we split it into 2 shifts. 11-1 and 1-3PM. At this moment we are looking for people who are interested in learning more. No commitment to volunteer required, but if you wish to sign up for any of the various shifts, please sign up!
Online Auction Business Outreach
We are looking for volunteers to contact local businesses to ask if they would like to contribute to our online auction. Contributions may include vouchers, certificates, or items. Volunteers will be provided with a list of businesses along with contact information, and will contact businesses via phone or email.
Food Bank Assistants
On Wednesdays around 12 pm one will find a flurry of activity in Memorial Hall. This is the cohort of Food Bank Depot volunteers making magic pantry sandwiches, setting up tables and unloading food off the main Food bank's big truck. All before the clients arrive to take home their hampers.
The volunteer crew is looking specifically for more help in lifting the heavy hamper boxes off the truck and into the hall and onto tables. If you are available between 12 and 1pm on Wednesdays and feel confident in lifting 15-25 lbs of boxed groceries, stop by! reach out to Derek Sutherland or Jack Waters for more information on volunteering with the Food Bank . If your are interested please sign up below.
*If Wednesdays don't work for you and you still want to be involved in Food Bank related opportunities, their main warehouse is always an option. Sign up online. https://www.edmontonsfoodbank.com/volunteer/
Ushers
SEEKING SUNDAY MORNING USHERS
We are seeking more people to help with Sunday Ushering. Ushers are the people who greet people at the door and hand out bulletins. Ushers help to direct people in the building, some ushers help with the elevator, and some take weekly attendance. Ushers need to arrive at 9:30 AM on a Sunday and then help to put things away after the service. We would like to have teams of 2 if possible. We are hoping to find people to help once a month. We need people for the 1st and 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month and on occasion we need people for the 5th Sunday of the month. If you are interested please sign up below. We will have a training session in the near future as well. If you have questions please contact Rev. Karen at karen.bridges@rwuc.org
