Volunteers will be responsible for assembling meal boxes, which will be sent out to families by delivery volunteers throughout the following week. Volunteers will work in small groups to sort through food items and pack meal boxes with a variety of foods and materials. Meal packing occurs every Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm. Meal Deliveries are performed every Monday from 8am to Noon. From participating, volunteers will learn effective communication, organization, and teamwork skills. Volunteering allows you to not only give back to the community and make a positive impact on families, but also strengthen bonds with your own family or group. Volunteers will find themselves a part of a community of passionate and hard-working individuals. Anyone can participate in this job. Volunteers will be required to be on their feet for an extended period of time and lift items up to 30 lbs. However, there are tasks available for all physical abilities and children as young as 12 years old.
