Thank you in advance for volunteering for Concession Stand duty for the Raptors program. The Concession Stand is an important source of revenue for our organization as it helps keep football and cheer registration costs low and pays for improvements for equipment. Your volunteerism also sets a great example for our players! Please take a moment to review the following guidelines. We hope that you enjoy your time volunteering for the Raptors Youth Sports program!

1. All Concession Stand volunteer assignment sign ups will be sent out by the Volunteer Coordinator via email, Team Snap and/or social media at the beginning of the season.

2. Each family is responsible to fulfill 4 volunteer hours in the season. This can be broken up into 2 hour increments during multiple games/dates. You will be able to sign up for one shift in concessions, and one shift outside of concessions.

3. If a volunteer cannot meet their obligation they signed up for, volunteers will need to notify the Volunteer Coordinator at least 3 days prior to their shift. Please email them at blraptorsvolunteers@gmail.com with questions.

4. We are subject to the Tacoma Health Department rules and regulations regarding food handing and serving. While each volunteer is not required to have a food handlers card, each position is responsible for understanding the health department requirements and abiding by those responsibilities. There will be laminated printouts detailing each job and their health department requirements, such as specific food temperatures required, glove and hand washing requirements, etc. Failure to follow these health department requirements could subject the Raptors organization up to $1000 fine and possible loss of our food license.

5. If we do not get enough volunteers for a shift, the following positions will not be available until a full shift is present:
• 5 volunteers - full concessions
• 4 volunteers - no fryer position (cannot sell french fries)
• 3 volunteers - no fryer or grill position (cannot sell french fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, breakfast sandwiches)

6. At the start of each concession volunteer shift (please arrive 10 minutes early), volunteers should report to the concession stand and sign in on the schedule posted near the cash register.

7. The prior shift position holder will be responsible for explaining the duties and responsibilities of their position to the next volunteer.

8. Concession volunteers generally must be 18 years of age. No one under the age of 18 can run the cash register, grill or fryer.  For approval to register a volunteer under 18 years of age, please contact a Concession Director.

9. Shift times will be determined based on the schedule we receive from the district. The first shift will include unloading the trailer and setting up the concession area. The last shift of each day will include closing tasks such as cleaning and putting away equipment.

10. Food for the Referees and district employees are always free. Please contact a concession director with questions. Volunteers should pay for any food or drink they consume.

11. Food is not allowed on the field under any circumstances, ONLY WATER. Teams must clean up after each game!! We need to keep BLHS clean and set a good example for our visiting players. Failure to do so could result in the Raptors organization losing use of the field for future games/seasons.
