Additional shifts starting in May

Thanks to all who attended our first Volunteer Night.
We’re thrilled to on-board Elizabeth, Estelle, Merrilee, Kyle, Mike, Tania, & Yoneko; welcome back Kristen & Maggie, and, of course, thank our current team of volunteers: Carla, Chuck, Debbie, Ella, Hannah, Jean, Leslie, Ron H, Shawn, Yvan, & Zvi.

EPTL is 100% Volunteer Operated

Volunteer on a Saturday or Wednesday. Shifts are 2-3 hours & there is always another volunteer to help make the time fly by.

Help with Social Media. We need help with publicizing. Are you savvy online?

Repair Tools. We can use some handy volunteers to help maintain tools.

Table a community event. We would love to have a presence at community farmers’ markets, street fairs, movie nights, etc.

Attend a Meeting. Join us the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm. Monthly meetings are open to the community.

Join the Board. We’d like to expand the Board of Directors.





Thank you to all the volunteers during our first year: Alex, Claudia, Chuck, Ella, Jean, Kristin, Laura, Leanne, Maggie, Nathaniel, Oliver, Ron H, Shawn, Will, Yvan, & Zvi
