- Great Basin Food Co-op: If you like to be active and on your feet, volunteering in-store at the Co-op is the ideal fit for you. You can support their delivery team, or help with day-to-day stocking and operations at a time that suits your schedule. If you are a people person, you can train on the register to be a volunteer cashier. Lastly, if you are interested in using experience you've gained in your career, such as in accounting and finance, outreach, education, mediating, computers or marketing, you can get involved on a committee. Volunteering earns you big discounts for your grocery shopping too. For more information, please contact their volunteer coordinator by email or click here for their website.
