Foodstand Sign Up

Written by ANDREA L RIPPLEY Posted on

What’s New with the Sign up Sheet

There are a few updates to the foodstand schedule this year to help improve coverage and make shifts easier for families.

New age column:
There is now a column to list each participant’s age. Please be sure to complete this when signing up.

All shifts are now 2 hours long.
In the past, it has been a challenge to fill some evening shifts—especially on busy days like Friday and Saturday. Shorter shifts should better fit into family schedules and make coverage easier.

New “swing” shifts have been added.
These shifts help ensure there is always someone available to train new members. They also prevent an entire new shift from starting all at once.

Shift coverage expectations:
Most shifts will have at least 5 people scheduled. The exception is Friday and Saturday night shifts, which require our older youth and adult members to help cover these high-demand times.
