Tuscan Farmers Market - Help Needed!

10/21/2024 7:03 am

We are so excited to bring the Farm to Tuscan and help teach our kids about healthy foods and sustainability but we need your help! 

 

For set up, we need lots of STRONG volunteers to help us carry produce from the front of the school to the school atrium. Even if you only have 20 minutes at 9:00 a.m., that would be great! 

 

We also need two tables dropped off at Tuscan to use for the market, as well as dollies to carry the produce. If you have them to loan, let us know ASAP!

 

Sign up here and see the teacher schedule so you know when your Tiger's class will be "shopping" the market!  

 

**We also need reusable bags!** Last year we had hundreds, but we went through them all!

 

Please contact Laura with questions or see her at drop off for bag collection.
