Petaluma Bounty Needs Volunteers

UUP Friend Jan Crosby forwarded this to us:

A note from Judy Peterson, Elim member and the Petaluma Bounty Hunters Coordinator:

The bounty has arrived and we are in great need of volunteers in many areas. There are currently several opportunities for posses to pick fruit in Petaluma backyards and in orchards in Sebastopol. The locations will need teams of anywhere from 2-6 people. Ladders and fruit pickers will be required at some sites, as well as boxes or bags to pack the fruit. Petaluma Bounty Hunters has one fruit picker and ladder that can be provided.

Due to the volume of produce we also need drivers to deliver food from Elim and possibly other collection points on Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri. and Sat. to one of five distribution sites in Petaluma. If you do volunteer as a driver we will need a copy of your current driver's license and insurance.

In addition, we need two volunteers every Saturday for the Petaluma Farmers' Market. Petaluma Bounty has an informational table there and we are also recipients of surplus from the farmers and vendors. The market will run through October and is open from 2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. It is an enjoyable experience meeting people and greeting those you know. Please let me know what activities you are interested in and the times you are available and I will respond with the details.

Thank you for your interest in Petaluma Bounty and a sustainable food system.
