Volunteering with Reiman Gardens

Only volunteers who have completed food safety training qualify to sign up for these shifts. 

Activity Instructions

This year, we will have food safety trained volunteers work inside our heated potting shed during Winter Wonderscape. Volunteers will provide both pre-packaged s'mores kits and create s'mores kits as needed, depending on how many customers we have each night. 

• Volunteers will hand pre-packaged sleeves of graham crackers and chocolate to guests once they've been purchased.
• With gloves on, volunteers will take two marshmallows (per kit) and skewer them, then hand those to the guest as well.
• As supplies get lower, these volunteers can also pre-assemble the graham cracker/chocolate sleeves.
• Volunteers should change gloves and wash hands as needed throughout the night. Volunteers can use the sinks inside Hunziker House.

What to do when you arrive

1. Enter though our main lobby (this might be quite busy and congested) or the East Gate (tell volunteers at the Kiosk that you are a volunteer heading in for your shift). The East Gate will only be available to enter after 5 p.m.
2. Sign in via Better Impact. Download the app and use that to sign in/out so you can bypass the front desk kiosk. 
3. Go directly to the S'mores Corner (located in the patio behind Hunziker).
4. Supplies will be set up in the Potting Shed. Put on gloves and hand out sleeves of graham crackers/chocolate, plus skewered marshmallows as they are purchased.
5. Put together extra kits if needed.
6. Use Walkie Talkie to let staff know if you need anything!
