CVC Group Service Outing

Summer is finally here! Join us from 9 am – Noon on Tuesday, July 9, for our annual Corporate Volunteerism Council group service outing. For this year’s event we will be packing food at Second Harvest Heartland’s facility in Golden Valley. This is a great opportunity to support the needs of the greater Twin Cities community and get to know your fellow CVC-TC members! Don’t forget to wear your company’s volunteer t-shirt!

Arrival:

• Plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of your volunteer shift.
• That will give you plenty of time to register, hang-up coats and secure items such as purses in our individual lockers.
• Our volunteer orientation will promptly start at the beginning of the scheduled shift.

What to Wear:
As a working warehouse please be mindful of the following:

• Dress in comfortable clothing t-shirts or sweatshirts with jeans are fine.
• Shorts are acceptable, as long as they are a style that will not offend anyone.
• You MUST wear closed toe shoes - no sandals! Any volunteers who arrive without closed toe shoes will not be able to volunteer.

Food Safety: 
In order to assure the food you pack is safe and suitable for our clients, we ask the following:

• Please do not plan on volunteering with us if you are feeling ill. We’ll be glad to have you reschedule when you feel better.
• When you are in our packing areas, you will be asked to remove all jewelry (aside from wedding bands). We thank you for planning accordingly.
