As a community-owned grocery store, we have made a conscious choice to involve our community in a great many ways, including volunteerism.  With your help, we can do more to make our community a better place.

 

How Do I Become a Volunteer at People's?

There are a few easy steps to becoming a volunteer:

Three People Planting Flowers Outside of Co-op Building

  1. To volunteer with the store you need to be a PFC owner (due to legal issues with our Cooperative status).
  2. Pick up or download a volunteer application, fill it out, and bring it into the store.
  3. Sign up for one of our monthly volunteer orientations. You can call the store or email our Volunteer Coordinator for dates and times or to RSVP.
  4. Attend one of the one hour monthly volunteer orientations at the store. We’ll talk about volunteer opportunities, take a tour of the store, and answer any questions you might have. You’ll also be able to sign up to help right then and there!
