As well, YCSP Bakery at Notre Dame, Shaker Hill, Alfred, needs extra volunteers during September when the nearby apple orchards bring hundreds of customers to purchase bakery goods. Volunteer shifts are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. Participants may take their pick, but schedules can be adjusted to fit a volunteers needs.
