Opportunity Details | Backpack Packing Age 17+
Opportunity Name:
Backpack Packing Age 17+ |
|
Description:
The Backpack Program provides a backpack full of nutritious, ready to eat or easy to prepare foods that is sent home on weekends and holidays when school meals are not available.
Volunteers help us pack the backpacks here in our Charlotte Warehouse location that will then get distributed to the students through the school systems.
The Backpack food is purchased, not donated for many reasons. Therefore, backpack packing is done on a schedule around the arrival of our food orders, the flow of the number of backpacks being sent out and our staff schedule. Our space is limited and a successful packing event needs at least 10 volunteers, but no more than 15. Once the backpack shift is full, we cannot accommodate additional volunteers due to space restrictions.
No Court Ordered, Suggested by Lawyer or Pre-Trial Community Service is permitted
Important Reminders - Please Read:
If you or your company are interested in having a backpack packing event at your location, please email the volunteer coordinator as there is a cost to cover the food, transportation of the food, backpacks and the additional staff needed to be at your location. |
