Bring your team of 8 or more to Portland Backpack's office/warehouse space for a Team Building packing event! Volunteers will work side by side to craft care cards and pack food sacks. Your efforts & donation help our program address local childhood hunger.
There are enough volunteer roles to keep everyone busy! Care cards are personally crafted messages of encouragement and belonging that will be tucked into each of the food sacks that you pack. Preparing to pack the food sacks involves removing packaging, gathering the recycle, moving stacks of food, using hand-trucks, and preparing food bins.
The visiting team makes a donation to our program to cover the cost of the food to be packed ahead of the event. Each food sack is valued at ~$6.00/sack. The minimum commitment is 304 food sacks. We pack in our warehouse space with the door open for air flow. We recommend dressing in layers. Closed toe shoes are required in our warehouse space.
*Closed toe shoes are required in our warehouse space* Ample free parking on site near our warehouse/office space.
1 in 5 kids experiences food insecurity in Oregon. Portland Backpack makes sure the kids we see everyday eat everyday. We provide weekend food sacks to 1200 kids at 15 Portland public schools. Kids who rely on free school meals during the week can rely on us on weekends.
