SERVING
INFORMATION
Saturday, October 28
11:00 am-3:00 pm
Thank you for volunteering at Ridgefest! Below is all of the helpful information you might need to know as we get closer to the event.
GENERAL
INFO
What is the plan for lunch during my volunteer shift?
Lunch will be available to you before or after your shift. Please plan on arriving early (or staying late) so that you can enjoy a free volunteer lunch in the Lighthouse.
Where do I find more information about the serving role I signed up for?
We recorded our all-volunteer training night at the link below. If you have any other questions about your role after reviewing the video, please don’t hesitate email ollila.kris@autumnridge.church with your questions.
Do I have to park in the designated volunteer parking lot?
We are asking all volunteers to park in the designated volunteer parking lot except for any volunteer with mobility issues or anyone parking an outdoor trunk at ARC. We recommend arriving to the Volunteer Shuttle 1 hour before your shift to ensure you have enough time to park, transfer to AR, check-in, and get a volunteer lunch.
Can my kids serve?
Yes! We welcome kids of all ages to serve. If your kids are younger than 4, please bring them with you (but don’t sign them up for a separate registration spot). If your kids are 4-12 years old, an adult needs to serve with them. Teens are able to serve independently of their parents, as you feel comfortable.
Where should we serve with little kids?
We have plenty of places for you to serve as a family with young kids. Handing out ice cream, serving at the Bubble station, being a yard game host, helping with carnival games, greeting guests, or helping keep AR clean during the event are all great options for families with little kids.
When I arrive at ARC, where do I check in?
The shuttle will drop you off at ARC. We then ask all volunteers to check in at Volunteer Central in LC100, next to the gym.
What happens
if it rains?
Our Volunteer Leadership Team has created a backup plan for inclement weather. If it looks like it will rain or snow, we will communicate with you via email, updates on our website, and social media.
Are background checks required
to serve?
Yes, background checks are required to serve as a volunteer at Ridgefest, and they need to be submitted by Wednesday, Oct. 25th. We are doing all that we can to ensure the community who will be attending the event experience a fun and safe environment.
Do I need to wear a costume?
We would love it if our volunteers wore costumes (especially those who are serving by hosting an indoor or outdoor trunk). But it is not required to serve.

Volunteers will then be shuttled to ARC.
