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.

weekly assignments are below. Each team of their respective division
should be timely and proactive to secure staffing for their assigned
