As part of membership in the Southside CSA every member “is required” to perform some volunteer service in our 3 areas of focus. Every share family divides the labor as they see fit, assisting @ 1 distribution shift, volunteering for 4 hours in support of the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen, & creating community through organizing or supporting some type of event, planning a farm trip, making a video, writing a blog post, & whatnot. This post is meant to help members who still need to complete their community service plug in…
Volunteer @ Supper-Club fundraisers for Greenpoint Soup Kitchen
- One of our super-star members–Ann– is also one of the main chefs @ the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen. She is planning a series of Supper-Club fundraisers to raise $$ for fresh food for the dark days of Winter when all the CSA donations have ended. The first fundraiser is planned for Friday Sept 17th. We need more hands on deck to help cook, serve, & clean. Also, if you play acoustic music…Let us know ASAP if you are interested in volunteering. Ann is also planning to do it again a few more times in the Fall, so if you are not available on the 17th but have free fridays in Oct or Nov, let us know.
