This is an exciting message from LVFoodCoop (web site is at the bottom):

Hello LVFoodcoop membership and friends,

We are very pleased to be opening our Virtual Farmers' Market with Coop Store very shortly. We will commence our first ordering cycle starting Feb 17th. It will run until March 8th with delivery on March 12th if everything goes as planned. We need your help with ideas on what types of Bulk, Personal Care, Household care, and Produce items that your family usually buys to run your household. Keep in mind the brands you prefer. We will compile the list for easy ordering via our website. Please respond promptly.

Membership work hour shifts are in need of being filled for weekly Thursday Delivery. Now is your time to help!

The times can be scheduled by individual members for these neighborhood sites - food credits will be allotted.

Restaurant and Home/Business Delivery Service - TBA call 610-965-6198 for information


All member worker volunteers will be compensated with Co-op food dollar credits for volunteering for the
Co-op.

As we get a system down, I am sure we can streamline these times. As it looks with our 50+ adult members currently, to make this work we will need to have a 4hr/month work requirement per family. Your 16 yr and older family members can participate for the family hours. As we said, there are lots of ways you can work for the co-op, distribution day is the most important way you can help us at this time, the following jobs are available:

Distribution Day Sorters - Workers need to receive the orders from the producers at the Macungie Site and place them in the customer boxes and coolers according to customer name and drop-off site.

Truck Driver - This shift starts at approx 2pm and ends approx 9pm. CDL preferred. Will be required to drive to the sights above and help unload the truck to the drop-off sites. Please contact 610-965-6198 if you are interested in this position. Will be required to work at the last drop-off site until approx 7:30pm to then go back through the sites for a empty cooler pickup. Shift ends at the Macungie Fire Company where coolers will be stored.

Drop-off site workers- We need members to volunteer time slots at the above sites.

As we evolve there will be volunteer hours need for office work, newsletter, membership, etc. stay tuned. Members have the ability to bank hours eventually as our membership increases.

Let us know what times look good for you,

Thanks,

Board of Directors
