VOLUNTEER!


Edible Alchemy was, and is, built by the power of volunteers.  The generous time, effort, and expertise of many volunteers allows us to source amazing food for you.


Here's how you can get involved:

During the week:
-gathering orders from friends, family, community, etc...
-Gathering information & recipes for the zine.
-Clean & organize bulk area
-Clean, organize, & prepare Eco for Edible Alchemy pick-up
-Pre-weigh bulk orders going to satellite locations (move these things to Saturday)
-prepare receipts, invoices, lists.
-Update the website.

Saturday (pick-up day!):

Green City Market (Lincoln Park)

other vendors in the city
