Overview
The Snack Shack at Mill Creek Sports Park (aka Freedom Field) provides a convenient and enjoyable way for families to purchase refreshments during Spring Season games. What makes our Snack Shack truly special is that it's entirely run by MCLL volunteers, just like every other aspect of our organization. The proceeds from the Snack Shack help fund the league, in lieu of doing a large fundraiser.

Menu
We offer hot dogs, corn dogs, fresh popcorn, soft pretzels w/ cheese sauce, nachos, fresh baked cookies, ice cream, coffee, hot cocoa, candy and more. Cash (small bills preferred) or credit cards are accepted.

Volunteer Sign-Up
Anyone can volunteer (community members, high school students, siblings, parents, etc.). The only requirements are that volunteers must be at least 12 years of age and that at least one staff member per shift has a current WA Food Workers Card. Volunteers between the ages of 12 and 16 must be paired with another volunteer who is at least 18.

Scheduling of Volunteers
The operation of the Snack Shack Concession Stand at Freedom Field is a labor of love shared among our community and divisions. This season, to allow divisions more self-management and flexibility, the league has assigned concessions operations, by week, to the various divisions. The number of weeks assigned to a division considers the extent to which the division has access to Freedom Field. Staffing requirements during a given week may vary, but in general, will consist of two games (beginning at 5:00pm and 7:00pm) Monday through Friday and a few games on Saturday.  Each shift is the duration of one game (roughly two hours), and we ask that there are two volunteers for each shift.

Division Assignments
The weekly assignments are below. Each team of their respective division should be timely and proactive to secure staffing for their assigned week(s).

WA Food Workers Card
Volunteers are asked to have a current WA Food Handler Card. The card is obtained by completing a brief WA Food Handler Card course. Training is offered free-of-charge (using the MCLL class code “7C87”). Initial cards are valid for 2 years, and renewals are valid for 3-5 years. (Check to see if your card is valid before taking the training again.)

Training
The Snack Shack Volunteer Guide includes simple step-by-step instructions, including how to use the open/close the concession stand, how to use the cash register, etc.
