We have been working hard to establish Emergency Safety Guidelines in order to safely operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.  It’s important for all to remember that we are able to be open because we are an open-air grocery store, not a social gathering.

Our Ideal Volunteer Tutor

The ideal volunteer tutor is someone seeking to make a one-year commitment of two hours per week to help someone else make the change of a lifetime. For our volunteer tutors, an education background is helpful, but not necessary. The most important qualities are patience, an open mind, and resourcefulness. Tutors also need to be non-judgmental and sensitive to cultural differences. A GED or high school diploma is required. Ideal tutors enjoy seeing concrete outcomes from their efforts and sharing in the life-changing successes of others. See our full tutor position description here.

Hard 2 Recycle is headed to Henderson County for the first time on Saturday, October 10th 10am-2pm. This event will be held in the TEDC Overflow Lot at Blue Ridge Community. We need volunteers to help run this event smoothly! Volunteers will be required to wear masks and follow physical distancing guidelines. PPE will be provided. Register to volunteer and join our Info Session on Wednesday October 7th at 10am via Zoom.

Emergency Action Plan (EAP) / COVID-19

We are looking for a handful of folks to help us straighten up our outdoor spaces! If you like to weed, sweep up pinecones, and just do some general light grounds work, we’d love to have you join us on Wednesday, October 21 from 3:00-5:00.
