Opportunity Details | Kids Backpack Packing Ages 6-12 Saturdays
Opportunity Name:
Kids Backpack Packing Ages 6-12 Saturdays |
|
Description:
This is the only opportunity for younger kids (6-12 years old) to volunteer so please do not sign up if you are over 17 years and older unless you are the parent/adult coming to volunteer with the child. Please contact Betsy Van Dyne at bvandyne@secondharvest.org. if you have any questions.
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.
Please note that one spot = one person. If you have a family, each adult and each child must be scheduled. Volunteers help us pack the backpacks that will then get distributed to the students thru the school system. Because the food is all purchased and we do not rely on donations, 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. PLEASE NOTE THAT IS DOES TAKE A MIN. OF 10 VOLUNTEERS TO PACK. IF YOU SCHEDULE AND DO NOT SHOW, THE SYSTEM WILL REMOVE YOU FROM ANY UPCOMING SCHEDULED DATES.
