No Time to Volunteer??

If you are like me you really want a co-op grocery store to shop in but there is NO FREE TIME in Fairbanks in the summer!!!

For a fun and easy way to give a little time to FCCM consider:

1. Invite your friends to join our Facebook group
and/or invite them
to our Facebook Event
for the first Membership Meeting and Harvest Fair.

2. Twitter about us

3. Call a friend and invite them to the Harvest Fair.

Harvest Fair Needs Volunteers
Fair booth
Thanks to all who visited us at the fair! You made it a success!

The fair booth won the prize for most closely representing the fair theme - "Tradition is our Mission".

Our 1st annual Harvest Fair is fast approaching. Volunteers are already preparing vendor booths, children's activities, entertainment and information about our cooperative grocery store but we still need an army of volunteers to make it fun and successful. Click Here for a schedule of events.

There are many easy ways to volunteer. If you can volunteer a little time to help at the fair please call or email one of the committee chairs below:

Food and Clean Up Committee: Email Sharon Alden  or call 455-7882 

Help Set Up and Take Down the Fundraiser Booth: Email
Robert Leach or call 388-1162

Children's Activities Committee: Email Cora Kelley or call 978-4087

Remember, you can 
become a member at any time.

Note: Please be patient with us. If you have called or emailed without a response that doesn't mean we won't respond. We are all volunteers and are working for our food co-op around other jobs.
