Join FareStart in making croutons for PCC
Behind every savory, crunchy FareStart crouton is a partnership between three essential Northwest companies. FareStart's "Mighty Croutons" are sold at all PCC stores and made with unsold loaves of Macrina Bakery bread, transformed into croutons in FareStart's Interbay kitchen. Read more here on PCC's Sound Consumer.
The croutons made during this project will be given as gifts to our Gala guests to help raise funds for our programs.
Volunteers will be helping with production and packaging of croutons. No kitchen experience required! A great opportunity for hands-on volunteer work and team building.
We rely on the hard work of volunteers in order to effectively serve our community. If you schedule a volunteer shift and do not show up it means others are not able to sign up and we aren't able to make the meals our community depends on. Please unregister yourself as soon as possible if you are not able to attend so others may sign up.
