Volunteer: Kitchen Equipment Moving Crew 2/27

Growing Hope is seeking a small team of physically capable volunteers to help move commercial kitchen equipment back into the Incubator Kitchen from MarketPlace Hall after the floors have been refinished. This final step allows us to safely reopen the kitchen and get community cooks and food entrepreneurs back to work.

Volunteers will assist with lifting, rolling, and carefully positioning large equipment such as refrigerators, prep tables, shelving, and storage units. Staff will be on site to coordinate placement, ensure clear pathways, and support safe movement of equipment.

This opportunity is best suited for volunteers who are comfortable with heavy lifting and teamwork. Closed-toe shoes are required. Gloves and basic moving equipment will be provided.

By helping reset the kitchen, you are directly supporting Growing Hope’s shared kitchen, local food businesses, and community food access programs. Your time and strength help us reopen the space quickly and safely, and we are grateful for your support.
