At Portland Backpack, we provide food sacks to ~1200 kids every week at fifteen public schools. For this activity, we'll bring the event to you! Hosted at your location, we'll learn about local childhood hunger, craft Care Cards, & pack a minimum of 304 food sacks!
Are you looking for a hands-on volunteer experience for your organization or group? Host your own packing event at your site! With a commitment of purchasing food for a minimum of 304 food sacks, we'll provide a Food Buying menu and help you design the event to match your time and budget. The host team is responsible for paying the cost of food to be packed. Exact tax receipts will be provided with proof of purchase of the food, or our program will value each food sack at $6.00/sack. The minimum commitment is 304 food sacks. Our Program & Volunteer Coordinator can work with you to determine the best method for ordering the food to be packed. Portland Backpack will help you facilitate the event by providing an educational moment and volunteer management. Work with your team to pack food and a little love into bags for our neighborhood kids. The minimum time is 1.5 hours, but we can keep a large team busy for up to 3 hours.
