At home meets, Hanarry West operates the concession stand and proceeds from sales go directly back to the swim team. Volunteers working concessions take orders, serve food and handle payment transactions. Other volunteers cook food before the meets or during the meet (on the grills).

Important because: Kids swim faster so they can buy concession candy. And, concessions proceeds support the teams.
Timeframe: First half (Events 1-36) and Second half (Events 37-82)
Volunteers per meet: 6 at the meet; 3-4 before the meet
Best for: People who like food, drinks and treats – and can make change for a $10

CONCESSION SETUP
Arrive at home meet at 3 p.m. to help Concessions Manager with setup. Prepare items for concession stand to open at 5 p.m. Work concession stand until 6 p.m. when meet starts.

CONCESSION STAND VOLUNTEERS
Concession Stand Volunteers sell items during the meet to swimmers and their families. Our Concession Stand accepts cash and Venmo. In addition to the food items volunteers cook (mentioned below), our stand also sells candy, chips and an assortment of drinks. Volunteers help manage the flow of food from the grill and restock cold or hot items from the coolers and fridge.

GRILL MASTER

Some concessions volunteers cook hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc at the meet. Our grill is set up along the fence near our Clubhouse.

COOKS
Other volunteers cook items before the meets and bring them to the meet ready to be served. Volunteers pay for the ingredients themselves. Some of the staples of the Hanarry West Concession Stand – and items volunteer cook and prep include: Baked potatoes, chili, baked ziti, fruit, assorted desserts (brownies, cookies, etc.). Our Concession Coordinator will provide detailed instructions, but cooks are asked to make servings between 25-40, depending on the item. And items should be brought to the pool by 5 p.m. ready to serve (so hot items should be hot).

ONE-TIME DONATIONS
We also ask our team parents, especially those that love to bake and cook, to donate a specialty item to Concession Stand – tamales, baklava, banana pudding, cake, pulled pork, etc. Having a “limited” or “special” item is usually a big seller
