Hillcrest Weekly Farmer's Market
Sundays from 9:00am - 2:00pm
Farmer’s markets are still categorized by the state as an “essential business”.
The Hillcrest Farmer’s Market will have a much smaller footprint with plenty of space between farm stands and will focus on farm fresh and perishable produce.
They have reached out to ask for assistance on Sundays 9:00am – 2:00pm with 10 volunteers to walk through out the market with 6 foot-long rods reminding people on the 6-foot recommended social distance and other market rules.
If interested, please reach out to Ben Nicholls.

Usher At The Old Globe Theatre
As part of our Volunteer with Cheli Team
Thursday, August 4 @6:45pm
Once a month on Thursdays see the schedule below
The Old Globe has reached out and asked if we might be able to create an Official Volunteer with Cheli Team to Usher at upcoming theater productions. The mission of The Old Globe is to preserve, strengthen and advance American theatre by creating theatrical experiences of the highest professional standards; producing and presenting works of exceptional merit designed to reach current and future audiences; ensuring diversity and balance in programming; providing an environment for the growth and education of theatre professionals, audiences and the community at large.
All incoming ushers must go through New Usher Training prior to ushering. Here is the list of upcoming mandatory training: (Pick One)
Saturday, July 23 from 10:00 am – 12noon This is in-person at the Globe Theatre
Saturday, August 13 from 10:00 am – 12noon This is in-person at the White Theatre
Please Note: That working as an usher may require standing for long periods of time and that due to the nature of the theatre, you may be working in dimly-lit conditions. Some usher positions may require the ability to climb and descend stairs.
If you haven’t already completed the background check with VwC please let us know and we will send you a link to complete the process, we cover all the fees.
All volunteers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and we are highly encouraging everyone to wear a mask while on site. Proof of vaccination will need to be provided at the first assignment.
Our Volunteer with Cheli team will be ushering on Thursday evenings and our dates are listed below. The call time is 6:45p with a show start time of 8p. Everyone will need to be ready to go at 6:45p so people will need to plan extra time for parking and walking to the theatre as there is no Globe-specific parking area.
Dial M for Murder at the White Theatre on 8/4
A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Festival Theatre on 8/18
Come Fall In Love: The DDLJ Musical at the Globe Theatre on 9/8

RECRUITING LGBTQIA+ Court-appointed special advocates
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASAs are volunteers of all backgrounds who make a commitment to advocate for the needs of the child or sibling group with whom they are matched. A CASA gets to know a child’s situation, communicates with professionals on the case, and makes sure the child’s needs are being met. Over time, a CASA often becomes the most consistent person in a child’s life. At regular court hearings required for all children in foster care, our CASAs report on the children’s progress and needs, which is essential for judges to make the best decisions for their futures.
Our Children Need You
This year, an estimated 3,500 children will spend time in foster care in San Diego County and 4,000 will spend time in foster care in Riverside County after experiencing abuse or neglect. These children need you to speak up for them.
