The Chesley Good Food Box and the Grey Bruce Health Unit are looking for a volunteer site coordinator to support a team of volunteers to deliver the services of the Good Food Box. The volunteer site coordinator acts as a local contact, organizes orders, and works with volunteers to pack boxes on pick up day. The position requires about 10 hours every month.

Volunteering with the Good Food Box has given coordinators the chance to meet new people and be a leader of their community for a good cause.

"The Good Food Box depends on volunteers in order to maintain affordability and sustainability. They are invaluable to the growth and success of the program." says Public Health Dietitian Laura Needham, who works with the program.

Chesley good food box orders may be placed on hold until a new coordinator is found. Packing days currently occur on the third Thursday of the month at the Chesley Public Library. Contact Laura Needham if you are interested in becoming a volunteer site coordinator ([email protected]).

The Good Food Box is a volunteer powered, community based program to improve access to quality food by making fresh produce available at a low cost. There are 18 Good Food Box sites across Grey Bruce. Visit Good Food Box for more information and locations.
