Updates from the Team

 

Extra Help Needed This Week
We will need extra help in the new space this week, and additional shifts have been added to the SignUpGenius link.

 

Out of respect for the work being done, please only come to the Western Avenue location if you are scheduled to be there.

 

Please be mindful of the address listed for each shift and double-check before arriving, as tasks are still split between locations. Thank you for your flexibility and support during this transition!​

 

 

Parking Lot Attendants

 

In order to have things run more smoothly, we will need to have three parking lot attendants on Tuesday and three on Thursday, as well. We will also need three parking lot attendants for the first Wednesday night of each month.

 

It would be very good if we could have four in order to cover for one another.

 

We have purchased some red/reflective winter jackets, gloves, flashlights, and walkie-talkies.

 

If you’re interested, please send a note to Dwayne@southportlandfoodcupboard.org

 

And plan to arrive at the Western Ave location:

• Tuesday at 8:00 AM

• Thursday at 7:30 AM.

   

Thank you very much for your help

Sick Policy

It’s that time of the year! Please do not come on site if you have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, a contagious illness, or symptoms such as a new cough, sore throat, or significant fatigue. You may return once you have been fever-free and symptom-free for at least 24 hours and feel well enough to participate. If you have a lingering cough but are otherwise feeling well, please wear a mask while on site. We appreciate everyone doing their part to protect one another, especially while handling and distributing food. In the event that you do stay home, please give us a call or email Peter (peter@southportlandfoodcupboard.org) or Nicolette (

nicolette@southportlandfoodcupboard.org) to let us know you won’t be in. Thank you!

New Volunteer Position: Parking Attendant

As we transition into our new space, we are introducing a new volunteer role on distribution days to help guide the flow of traffic and ensure a smooth experience for our neighbors. If you are interested in learning more or signing up, please reach out to Dwayne at Dwayne@southportlandfoodcupboard.org.
