Volunteer
Volunteer at the Harvest Home Fair!
We have volunteer meetings the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Harvest Home Park Lodge at 6:00pm from May - August! EVERYONE is welcome to come and get involved!
​
If you can't make the meeting, but still want to volunteer at the fair, send us and email here, and let us know how you'd like to help!
The Harvest Home Fair is a tradition older than Cheviot itself, and it's going to take the whole community coming together to keep it going for generations to come!
​
It takes a LOT of volunteers to make the Harvest Home Fair happen every year and we always need new people to help out! We need people to be part of the planning process, chairing committees as well as people to work the parade and fair. It's a lot of fun and volunteers get free entry to the fair, and new this year volunteers get a T-Shirt too!
Two ways to Sign-Up!
You can login to our Good-Shift page through the portal below and browse all the available shifts and sign-up that way or scroll down through the list of time-slots by Fair Committee and email the Volunteer Chair to let her know what shifts you'd like to sign-up to volunteer.

KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS
The Kitchen is one of the big money makers for the fair that allow us to invest money back into the community and it takes a lot of volunteers to run the Kitchen and we hope you'll sign up to help out!!
​
In addition to running the Kitchen during the fair we have to set up the area with additional equipment a few days before the fair and take it down afterwards. During the fair we need volunteers to help with the cooking, serving, selling and cleaning up. It's a BIG job working with a great crew!
Volunteers need to be 16+ and this is a great way to get you're school's service hours in!
