One of the ways the Friends of Deer Flat complement the work of the Wildlife Refuge is to provide refreshments for volunteer projects and public engagement efforts.
The board for the Friends of Deer Flat is seeking dedicated individual(s) who would enjoy selecting, shopping for, and delivering the snacks for meetings and events and making sure the appropriate plates/cups/utensils are available. This can be as simple or complex as you desire, within the budget of the event. We aim for events to be inclusive to different tastes, cultures, and dietary restrictions. Events are intermittent at this time, so ideally you are willing to communicate with volunteers and board members on a case by case basis. I know there is a big one coming up in November for our Annual meeting.
If you are interested in serving the food, visiting with guests, recruiting volunteer servers, and making an event feel special, that is awesome but not necessary. The main thing we are looking for is someone to mastermind the refreshments.

To promote, protect, and provide resources for Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge.
In southwest Idaho’s Treasure Valley, surrounded by suburban homes and farmlands, Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge provides refuge for both wildlife and people. The refuge protects the Lake Lowell Unit and the Snake River Islands Unit to provide oases for migratory wildlife, including spectacular concentrations of mallards and Canada geese. The refuge also provides a place for people to slow down, relax and unwind.
Friends exist to support Deer Flat NWR, sharing the mission to preserve, protect, and provide resources for the land and animals therein through equitable and collaborative conservation with the surrounding community.
Our activities complement the work of the Fish and Wildlife Service by focusing on the work that the the Refuge System can’t do; giving and receiving funding for projects and programs, connecting with neighbors in the surrounding area, and advocating for America’s wildlife refuges locally and nationally, and more.
