Join us in volunteering with our August Cooperates partner!
This event will be held Saturday, August 10 from 7:30-11:30am at 627 38th Ave NE, Columbia Heights, MN.
We’ll be volunteering at one of SACA’s biweekly Produce Drops. SACA gives out freshly harvested produce to people in our community at Produce Drops. Last year, they gave out over 52,000 lbs of produce! The produce ranges from carrots to corn on the cob to watermelon to squash and everything in between, all depending on what is being harvested at the time. It’s a great opportunity to interact with people who need some help.
Set up begins at 7:30am. Produce is given out about 8:30am. The Produce Drop runs till about 11 – 11:30am, leaving the rest of the day open for other things. Volunteers will setup and bag produce, hand it out and, using carts, bring the produce out to cars. Weather permitting, set up will be in SACA’s parking lot. If it’s raining, we set up in the warehouse.
This is a very casual event. Dress comfortably for the day’s weather.
