Working Member Policy & Procedures
The CCFC offers a working member program for people who want to volunteer with the CCFC. Working members volunteer in exchange for up to 25% off on their CCFC purchases.
The working member option is a privilege of a food cooperative and it is available to every member. Please be conscious when choosing to be a working member, you are a representative of our food co-op and what is good for the co-op is good for you!
CCFC Expectations of Working Member-Owners
- To attend to the needs of your fellow members-owners. A cooperative organization depends upon people helping people.
- To attend orientations or trainings
- To ask questions when in doubt (to avoid errors and misinformation)
- To present a positive, helpful attitude to customers
- To follow CCFC rules
- Be on time to scheduled shifts or call at least 24 hours ahead if you can’t make your shift and assist in finding a replacement.
- To present a neat and clean appearance, closed toe shoes and have hair tied back.
- Leave your area clean and ready for the next worker.
- Always do your best.
- Be willing to take direction from Co-op staff.
- Have open communication with managers regarding any personal problems or needs.
- Keep track of your hours on the clipboard. Failure to do so will result in you not receiving credit for hours worked.
What You Can Expect From the Co-op
- To be provided with adequate training.
- To be given a discount in accordance with the dates and hours you work and the size of your household.
- To meet new people and learn new skills.
- To be offered suitable work, considering your preferences, experience, abilities and temperament, subject to the CCFC’s needs
- To be treated as a co-worker
- To have a manager or supervisor available to answer questions.
**Any misuse or abuse of the working member option will lead to a 30 day suspension of working member status and a forfeit of hours worked (meaning no discount will be honored for time worked). Misuse includes purchasing food for other members, friends or family members with your discount, steeling and not showing up to a scheduled shift. |
