Food AND Medicine and the Eastern Maine Labor Council’s 21st Annual Solidarity Harvest is just around the corner! Event organizers are seeking volunteers to help assemble the 1,650 meal baskets that will be distributed through our partners all over Maine to union families on strike and other Mainers in need.
Volunteers will assemble boxesNovember 11 - November 22 at the Solidarity Center, 20 Ivers St. in Brewer. There are two shifts each day: morning shift 9am - 12:30pm and afternoon shift 1:30pm - 4:30pm. Feel free to bring a friend, bring a class, bring a group, or just yourself. Lunch will be provided between shifts so volunteers are encouraged to stay after or come early!
Due to COVID safety concerns, volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated and willing to wear a mouth/nose covering when within less than six feet of other people. When outdoors, masks are optional.
