Volunteer!

As of January 2009, about 50% of NOWBC Co-op is run by volunteer labour in the interest of getting this sustainable local food system established. Volunteer and be part of a local food movement! NOWBC is a fun bunch of people to work with, especially if you are an enthusiastic “foodie” like us. Whether you have a day, or an hour, whether you can help out every week, month, or one time only—NOWBC can use your help and raise your karma as you do good for the local food system. Email joannam@nowbc.ca and simply say, “I'd like to help.” and we'll find a good fit for you, or check-out some of our current opportunities below.

Bookkeeper
NOWBC is looking for a 2nd bookkeeper to work with our current bookkeeper, Vicky, to spread out the workload. We are looking for someone who has at least 2hrs per week to offer and experience with month end reconciliations, on-line payment systems, cash flow projections and can generally help us get our bookkeeping organized and performed efficiently in Quickbooks. Our bookkeeping "headquarters" are currently located in Dunbar. If you can help us keep the finances organized you will be a NOWBC hero! Contact Joanna at joannam@nowbc.ca or 604-222-0262.

Pack Food Orders at the NOWBC Warehouse
Come visit the NOWBC warehouse (near Clark & Venables) and spend a half a day on a Wednesday or Thursday to help in packing some beautiful, local, organic foods for the clubs. We have one or two volunteers every packing day to help, please contact Joanna at joannam@nowbc.ca to volunteer!

Weekend NOWBC Coffee & Flier Parties
We are having a series of "flier parties" on the weekends in FEBRUARY and MARCH! We will be delivering NOWBC fliers to doorsteps in 24 different neighbourhoods (near all delivery depots!). Meet for coffee and then a couple hours hiking the neighbourhood delivering fliers. Join us for fun, fresh air, good exercise and good company. Please contact Joanna at joannam@nowbc.ca if interested!
