INFO FOR YOU
FOOD
We ask that all that volunteers contribute to the food expenses at the rate of $3 per day, $20 per week, or $90 per month.
Food stamp donations are accepted, but we are requesting that incoming volunteers do not apply for Food Stamps from the Beehive Collective's addresses.
HOUSING
There may not be the ability to house all volunteers indoors at the Clark Perry House, so we are asking for those that are in possession of tents to bring them, just in case. Our yard is big and beautiful and will be full of growing green food plants! If you have special needs and require a spot inside, please let us know ASAP.
ANIMALS
Though the 'Hive absolutely loves animals, we ask that pets are NOT brought to the work party. Both of our buildings are public, and we are trying to maintain a space that is as inviting and open to the public as possible. Thanks for understanding! |
