BANKING HOURS: Old work hours count! New work hours count! Any work you have done with the coop counts toward the work hour requirement. If you work more than the required 4 hours in a 4 week period, those hours will be “banked” toward future work hour requirements. Please use the work hours report form above to report your hours.
Please contact the committee you’d like to help with and to see what work is currently needed. If you are a member of Park Slope Food Coop, you can get work credit for completing hours: report work hours for PSFC with Sel selbfc@gmail.com
