**NOTE: Please refresh your browser to verify that your RSVP was properly updated. With the warmer weather, remember NO sandals.**

HDG needs 15 volunteers on Friday June 20th to work in a warehouse to box, bag and/or prepare bulk commodities for families experiencing food insecurity on the Western Slope. This volunteer opportunity takes place in a secure, active warehouse setting and requires the ability to move freely, stand and walk for long periods of time, bend, reach, and lift up to 30 pounds. All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes (tennis shoes/work boots) **No sandals, No jewelry, No perfume** and wear clothing appropriate for a warehouse workplace setting.

The work our HDG team can include the following:

--folding, taping, and labeling corrugated cardboard boxes

--stocking the "assembly line" with non-perishable food items

--filling boxes and/or bags with canned and other non-perishable food

--sealing the filled boxes and stacking them on pallets

--breaking down/flattening cardboard for recycling

\-\- bagging produce such as potatoes\, apples\, and onions

--set up and dismantle the volunteer workspace

--working in a "clean room" to prepare food for the dehydrator or repackaging bulk commodities such as dried beans or rice

--flexibility is important for all volunteers to participate with assigned tasks as needed. It is understood that all activities will be performed as assigned by the food bank employees.

**ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST INDIVIDUALLY RSVP TO ATTEND (remember this is a private location).** Since this is an active warehouse, attendance by children is restricted. Also, if your plans change, please be sure to update your RSVP so others may attend. Wear your HDG or Food Bank T-shirt if you have one.

Food Bank Friday #139

Food Bank of the Rockies - Western Slope Branch

***Read entire description please!* Five dependable** **volunteers** needed who enjoy engaging with people from different backgrounds to serve dinner at our ***two*** local shelters: ***note that we go to Homeward Bound at 2853 North Ave. AFTER serving at Pathways***. All you need to do is smile and serve prepared meals in a cafeteria-style setting--no cooking or cleanup is involved. This is a great way to serve your community AND get to know fellow HDG members as we often have time for a 15 minute break to visit between shifts.
Please wear non-slip closed toe shoes for safety, and it's a good idea to bring a bottle of water.

Serve Dinner at Pathways/Homeward Bound Shelters #56

HomewardBound of the Grand Valley - Pathways Family Shelter

Join us for a hike in the higher country. We will meet at the Turkey Flats Trailhead for about a 5.7 mile round trip. A full description can be found at gjhikes.com here: https://www.gjhikes.com/2011/09/turkey-flats.html. It's listed as "moderate" difficulty, and is in aspen forests. Please leave your dogs at home, since we will have a large group.

Be sure to bring water, snacks, bug spray and camera. A rain jacket is always a good idea as well.

Access to the trailhead can be made with a 2-wheel drive vehicle on dry roads by turning south at the Glade Park Store on 16 1/2 Road. The pavement ends after 2.6 miles and you pass the Mud Springs Campground at 6.4 miles. Take the right fork at 7.6 miles and continue on 16 1/2 Road. Pass the turnoff to Fruita Reservoir #1, at the Fruita Picnic Area, at about 9.5 miles and reach the Turkey Flats trailhead after just over 10 miles. There is ample parking on the right side of the road across from the trailhead. If you want to carpool, post a comment here.
