Shareholder Bagging relaunches November 16th

Co-op Shareholder Bagger Volunteer Hours

We are re-launching Shareholder bagging in the Front End. Starting November 16th we will welcome Shareholders back into the Co-op to bag groceries for customers.  Shareholder Workers must follow personal protection and safety requirements for performing a volunteer shift. One must sign up via Shareholder Services, Jon in Marketing or Jaci in the Front End. Full details below.

Please note two very important Covid-19 safety requirements for these volunteer shifts:

• Ask each customer if they would like help bagging or not.
• Wash or sanitize hands between every customer, even if wearing gloves.

Shareholder Workers are required to sign the Shareholder Volunteer Hours Personal Protection and Safety Requirements Agreement before each shift to certify they’re aware of these and other safety protocols. They’re also required to sign the Shareholder Volunteer Health Log before each shift.

Please read below for more details and feel free to reach out with questions to Shareholder Services or Marketing.
