NOURISHKC VOLUNTEER WAVIER
Safety is of the utmost importance at NourishKC. As a volunteer, I understand that I will be working in a fast-paced kitchen. This means I may be using sharp knives, transporting hot pans, or lifting heavy boxes. Additionally, floor surfaces may become slick. Closed-toed shoes and pants are required. Once at the facility, I will also listen to instructions from NourishKC staff intended to help me stay safe. If I accidently become injured, I will notify staff immediately to receive first aid.
I am participating in the Volunteer Activities of my own free will with knowledge of the danger involved, and I agree to accept all risks of participation. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless NourishKC and Downtown Council of Kansas City for all claims arising out of my participation in the Volunteer Activities.
