3 Incredible Edible Farm Rules and Regulations Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County is committed to the safety and well-being of volunteers who help us end hunger in Orange County. In order for volunteers to have a safe, productive, and enjoyable experience we must ask that you follow the rules listed below: 1) No running. The Incredible Edible Farm is full of uneven surfaces, rocks, and ground that is covered or obstructed. For this reason we ask that you, and especially any children in your party, please walk at all times and exercise caution. 2) Do not throw produce. There are times when it may seem more convenient to toss harvested produce to another volunteer or into a crate. Please refrain from doing this at all times. 3) Please monitor all minors in your party. While we welcome children at the Incredible Edible Farm, we also depend on adults in your party to monitor any minors who you are bringing. This means that you may need to periodically take a step back from harvesting or planting to ensure that the children are having a safe and productive time. 4) Notify your Volunteer Coordinator of injuries or feelings of dehydration or heat exhaustion immediately. In the event of an injury, please immediately notify the accompanying staff member from SHFBOC so that they may provide the appropriate assistance. This also goes for feelings of dehydration or heat exhaustion if at any time you feel weak, dizzy or otherwise unwell, please notify the Volunteer Coordinator immediately and sit down in a shaded area. 5) The minimum age for volunteers is 7. Due to the nature of the work involved and for the safety of the volunteers we are not accepting volunteers under the age of 7. We also ask that you do not bring any guests under the age of 7 even if they are not participating in the volunteer activities. 6) Refrain from obscene language. The Incredible Edible Farm is a family space. In order to keep it a positive environment we ask that volunteers avoid obscene language. 7) Treat everyone with respect. At any given time there are multiple people on the farm including staff and volunteer groups. We ask that everyone be treated and spoken to with respect in order to sustain a positive environment. 8) Second Harvest Food Bank has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards alcohol, drugs, theft of farm items, aggressive behavior, sexual harassment, property damage and insubordination. Anyone not following the above rules will be asked to leave the Incredible Edible Farm.

4 Warehouse Rules and Regulations 1) All volunteers must read and sign our release of liability form and this Information and Regulations form prior to beginning work for Second Harvest Food Bank. 2) No warehouse food may be consumed or taken home. Anyone caught taking food or any other products will be excused and sent home immediately. 3) No smoking, eating or drinking in the warehouse, except in designated areas. Smoking is allowed only 25 feet away from the doors of the building.

No running, no horseplay, no radios, and no headphones. 6) All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes. If a volunteer does not have closed-toe shoes, he or she can wear a pair of crocs from the volunteer break room. 7) Volunteers must refrain from obscene language in order to maintain a positive work environment for all. 8) Second Harvest Food Bank has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards alcohol, drugs, theft of warehouse items, aggressive behavior, sexual harassment, property damage and insubordination.

But please bear in mind that this is a busy, working warehouse, and as such, we do have rules that must be followed by all. 1) All parents and guardians of each of our young volunteers must read and sign the Liability Form, and it must be brought by the adults supervising the children that day. 2) The content of this Information and Rules Form should be discussed with the children attending Izzy s Corner prior to the visit; it too should be signed and brought by the supervising adult. 3) No warehouse food may be consumed or taken home. 4) Absolutely no open-toed shoes. No one with open-toed shoes including parents, guardians and supervisor will be allowed in the warehouse. 5) No running or horseplay, and everyone must stay with their group. 6) Parents, guardians, or leaders must accompany the children at all times, including to and from the rest rooms.
