We need a driver and one or two volunteers to help Tuesday during the day at the Roots Market in Manheim. We arrive outside of Root's Market where we meet our vendor who helps us load that week's produce into our vehicle. We then proceed to The Vista School where autistic young adults working towards employment help us arrange the produce in a presentable fashion similar to a supermarket.

This is a great volunteer activity for work/office groups, church groups, youth groups, etc. There is a great sense of accomplishment in helping others and it presents a very good social media opportunity for you.

The Mobile Market then returns to our base in Hershey to await produce distribution the next day. Volunteers must be age 18 but can be aged 14 to 17 if accompanied by someone age 18+. Drivers must be minimum of age 25 and have a good driving history. Families with younger children, however, are VERY welcome to help with parents along.

The Root's location is at 705 Graystone Rd, Manheim, PA 17545. If you are scheduling a group, call Mike at 717 298 0150, extension 5. If you are a very small group of friends, we have three seats in the back of our vehicle for you to sit. Also, note that Root's Market has a lot of great food and produce stands although we should note we don't have much time to shop. There IS, however, an amazing homemade pretzel stand by an Amish woman very close by and we seem to gravitate toward that on a regular basis. :)

NOTE TO DRIVERS: this is a really fun, rewarding activity. If you can only drive once or twice a month, we'll take the help!!

NOTE ABOUT TIMES: We leave our base at Hershey (15 East Main Street, Hershey, PA 17033) at 9:30 am sharp and our return time varies from 12 Noon until 2:30 pm or so.
