• Baking for vendor birthdays
• Helping with social media (primarily Facebook and Twitter)
• Selling advertisements or advertising your own business in the paper, read by thousands of residents and visitors
• Proofreading
• Training vendors
• Giving away old issues to promote the paper, mostly at area fairs and festivals
• Volunteering in the Groundcover office
• Writing
• Designing ads
• Supporting vendors in finding more places to sell
• Write articles for the paper or contribute ideas for articles. If you have a news tip, one of our writers would be more than willing to work with you on it.
• Advocate with your place of worship or workplace to allow Groundcover vendors to sell on their property.
• Help promote Groundcover as a progressive alternative to panhandling by downloading THESE COUPONS to give to folks panhandling on the streets of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Pittsfield Township, Dexter, or Chelsea!

ALL-VOLUNTEER MEETINGS

The easiest way to see how you can help Groundcover is by attending a volunteer meeting. For future meetings and other events, take a look at our Google Calendar. We can’t wait to meet you!

Volunteer meetings are typically held at 7:00 pm every few months in the Groundcover Office, located on the Basement Level of the Bethlehem United Church of Christ, 423 S. 4th Ave.
