>> VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP STAFF SMALL FARM STAND MARKETS THAT MAKE  
>> IT POSSIBLE FOR HOUSEHOLDS WITH LIMITED INCOME TO BUY PRODUCE USING  
>> FOOD STAMPS OR FMNP COUPONS
>>
>> Mondays - Northside Neighborhood Farm Stand in the former P&C  
>> Parking Lot - 4-7 PM (we have staff for this market but if someone  
>> wants to help with set up, sales and take down...that would be great)
>> Tuesdays - Ithaca Farmers Market - staff a table for customers who  
>> want to use EBT to buy produce - 9 AM - 2 PM
>> (time could be split up by a couple of volunteers
>> Tuesday afternoons - Groton Farmers Market - 3-7 - take produce  
>> from IFM to Groton for sale at a youth run farm stand (vehicle  
>> available to get to Groton)
>> Wednesdays - DSS Plaza between Seneca & State Sts. - 11 AM-1 PM
>>
>> For all of these markets except the Tuesday Ithaca Market, we get  
>> produce from local farms on consignment for sale at the markets.   
>> So the duties would involve: set up and sale of local produce,  
>> transactions can be accepted via Food Stamps, cash or FMNP coupons,  
>> and recordkeeping.
