How does it work? 500 volunteers will work together in two hour shifts to pack over 100,000 meals.
COVID 19 Precautions: In order to pack meals safely, all volunteers will be screened with questions prior to admission to the event. Volunteers are strongly encouraged to wear a mask throughout the event regardless of vaccination status. Hand-washing stations will be available. All volunteers will need to register on-line in advance. No walk- ins will be accepted due to shift limits of volunteers which is necessary for social distancing.

Does it cost to participate?
While there is no cost to participate, every individual who signs up for a packing shift is encouraged to make a personal goal of contributing a minimum of $30. At the price of less than 25 cents a meal, this covers the cost of 1 box of packed meals which is the average amount a single volunteer packs in a 2 hour period.
