Join one of our volunteer packing events! Up to 14 people can sign up to contribute to packing 500+ food sacks at each event. Kids are welcome to join! Help do the heavy work or take on one of many stationary roles. There is a task for everyone.
Volunteers may spend time crafting care cards to include in our food sacks & packing the food sacks.
We pack in our warehouse space with the door open for air flow, so we recommend dressing in layers & wearing closed toe shoes. Ample free parking at our warehouse/office space. Registration is required for all volunteers, including children. If you do not have the ability to create an account for a child, please email the Point of Contact for the event to notify them that you intend to bring children with you to volunteer, & let them know how many children you intend to bring with you. Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
