Get ready for the most exciting festival on the east coast. Munich has Oktoberfest, Tennessee has Bonaroo, New Orleans has Mardi Gras, Brazil has Carnival… and now ShamrockFest, which rocks the Nation’s Capital, has joined the party elite. Taking place at a massive, spectacularly-crafted festival grounds, with a multitude of entertainment areas, dozens of incredible performers, and much more, the National ShamrockFest is now recognized as one of America ’s premier festivals. So get your green on and get ready to party like never before – at SHAMROCKFEST '10!!
PLEASE NOTE: At this event we will be pouring beer and directing the flow of the beer truck stations. This event does take place in mid-March, rain or shine, and it will probably be chilly (unless Mother Nature decides to be nice). Pouring and serving beer is a wet business so dress for the occasion - shoes and clothes that are washable are your best bet. If you are volunteering for this event, consider yourself forewarned!
There is plenty of time to socialize and enjoy the festival before or after (and even during) your shift.
A portion of the tips earned at the SVDC beer truck will be donated to a charity TBA.
There are three shifts for this event:
Shift 1 - 11:00am - 4:30pm (For the early risers.) Only a few spots left for men!
Shift 2 - 3:30pm - 7pm (For the late risers.)
Shift 3 - All Day, 11:00am - 7pm (For the gluttons for punishment!)
The event coordinators have asked that we fill the second shift before the first. Second shift is shorter than the first and tends to be busier so it feels as though it goes by more quickly. Please make sure you click the signup link next to your preferred shift.
For this event we need both your first and last names for check-in purposes at the event.
AS OF 3/1/10 THE START TIME FOR THE FIRST SHIFT HAS CHANGED FROM 11:45AM TO 11AM.

For people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, the battle is far from over. We just make sure no one has to face it on an empty stomach.
Along with nutrition counseling, Food & Friends prepares, packages and delivers meals and groceries to more than 1,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses throughout Washington, DC, 7 counties of Maryland and 7 counties and 6 independent cities in Virginia. Since 1988, Food & Friends has provided food and companionship to our clients, their loved ones and caregivers.
The Food & Friends kitchen and grocery pantry are always hopping with activity! We prepare over 3,000 meals each day, so it takes many helping hands to make sure all the food is prepped, portioned, and packaged correctly. It’s a fun, hands-on atmosphere where you can learn as much about how to chop an onion as you can about the volunteer who is chopping next to you.
Join us for another regular engagement at Food and Friends! We can take 10 volunteers to help to prepare the over 400 meals that Food and Friends delivers each day to persons homebound with AIDS or AIDS related illnesses. We don't do any deliveries, but we will do things like make and pack sandwiches, box the meals, and chop veggies. No cooking skills required!

AFAC is an incorporated 501©(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing supplemental groceries to Arlington residents who cannot afford to purchase sufficient food to meet their basic needs.
While our only mission is to feed the hungry, by relieving the food budget of our clients, we help prevent homelessness and allow our clients to make other necessary purchases without sacrificing their health, housing and nutritional needs.
Supplemental groceries from AFAC mean that families can remain in their homes, workers can stay on the job, children are ready to learn, and mothers and babies get the nutrition they need. AFAC's client count for the week ending February 28, 2009 was 1,234 families. These consist of 2,273 adults and 1,407 children. There are currently 2,072 active client referrals. By comparison, one year ago, the client count was 824 families. Two years ago, the client count was 637 families.
Volunteers will be running a food distribution for low-income Arlington residents. This involves preparing for (setting out milk, eggs, produce) and helping clients through our distribution process. The setup is similar to a small grocery store, and volunteers will run all aspects of the operation under the direction of an AFAC volunteer supervisor, i.e. stocking shelves, monitoring the loading dock, escorting clients, carrying groceries, post-event cleanup and other duties as needed. This is a hands-on event, so please dress appropriately; washable clothing is recommended!
