Name: 2 hours of giving back to your community. Work with the Redwood Food bank!
Start: 2024-12-10T10:45:00-08:00
End: 2024-12-10T12:00:00-08:00

This is a rain or shine event! If you sign up please commit to the full two hour shift. The work can be physical so please make sure you are healthy enough to volunteer when you sign up. If that changes before the event, please update your RSVP to No.
The first step to participating in this event is to create a profile on the Redwood Empire Food Bank website (refb.org) unless you already have one. It's very easy and only takes a couple of minutes.
Once you are CONFIRMED (not waitlisted) on MeetUp to attend this event, you may sign up on the food bank site. You must have a profile in place (see first step above). The event host will send you a special link to sign up. Otherwise the REFB coordinator can sign you up on the day of the event.

For most Wanderer events, the purpose is exercise and socializing. This is a work event and there is little time for meeting each other. Therefore this is not a good fit for your first Wanderer event. Please join a hike first and get to know your fellow Wanderers.
**The Wanderers venture into giving back to our community in a small and very doable way!!!**
Redwood Empire Food Bank is a food bank on the North Coast of California which belongs to the Feeding America network. Its mission is to end hunger in its community. Founded in 1987, REFB is Sonoma County's largest hunger-relief organization, serving 133 charitable organizations, including emergency food pantries/closets, shelters and dining rooms, childcare centers/youth programs, group homes, and disaster relief agencies. Seniors, children, and working families come to food distributions seeking supplemental groceries.
We will be working the site at Lamplighter Senior Mobile Home park. The Redwood Empire truck will drop off the food for us to distribute. We organize it, pass it out to cars that drive by and clean up. We will be done by noon when the Redwood Empire truck returns to pick up any remaining food and supplies.
We meet at 10:45 at the Lamplighter Senior Mobile Home Park located at 2800 Santa Rosa Ave (cross street is Aileen). There are a few visitor parking spaces in the mobile home park. There is more parking at Burt Street along the road.
Please wear comfortable clothes and closed toe shoes.
Come prepared to work, have fun and feel good about giving back to your community!!
Miscellaneous info for those who want a more detailed process explanation:
The reason we do the extra step of signing in with the Food Bank is for their personnel to know the distribution site will have adequate coverage. They are not looking at MeetUp. The REFB coordinator creates the event (just for us) each month. Your name will be provided to the coordinator for sign up on REFB.
COVID-19 safety measures:

* Masks optional
* COVID-19 vaccination required
* Event will be outdoor

The event host is instituting the above safety measures for this event. Meetup nor REFB are not responsible for ensuring, and will not independently verify, that these precautions are followed.
