YOUR SKILLS ARE NEEDED

One of the greatest things about joining a community such as Vancouver Food Cooperative are the people you meet and the things you learn.  VFC is moving into the next stage and needs the skills and talents of its membership, volunteers, and public partners.  There is a spot for everyone and everyone for a spot so take a few minutes to look at the list and see where your unique talents can best be used.  Don't see a topic but want to help out, give us a holler and we can find something for your skills.  Thank you for your time, energy, and support of Vancouver Food Cooperative.
