  • There is a parking lot on the right of Mason and Laporte but I don't know what the daily fee is.
  • There is also free parking up one block behind the police station.

The second shift on Saturday will be very busy. We will be floating people around to where help is needed.

Saturday and Sunday volunteers will receive a Taste T-shirt. We ask that you wear these shirts with your volunteer name badge. This is how we recognize our volunteers. There will be port-a-pots available to change into your shirts.

Things you might want to bring with you:

  • Water bottle, we will have some bottles availabe and water in coolers to refill with.
  • Sunscreen - might be a bright sunny day
  • Lawnchair - many of the positions allow you to sit. Chairs are not always available.
  • Appropriate footwear for the job that you are doing. Many positions have a lot of walking.

  • Please do not bring your purses or large bags. We do not have a storage area for these.
