Packing for the Planet: An Earth Month Event!
This April, in honor of Earth Day, we are coming together to celebrate our shared home. Together, we hope to turn kindness into action to make sure no one in our community goes hungry. We believe the best way to care for our planet is by looking out for the people on it!
We’ve set an ambitious goal to pack 100,000 meals! We are looking for volunteers of all ages to join us for an impactful 1.5-hour shift to help us pack for our planet!
Shift One: 8:30 – 10:30 AM
Shift Two: 11:00 – 1:00 PM
Shift Three: 1:30 – 3:30 PM
Come enjoy music and a lively atmosphere as we unite to achieve this amazing goal, and please bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated as we dance and pack the afternoon away!
We want the whole team involved! Families with children are welcome to participate together. However, please remember that our event space is an active working warehouse. For everyone’s safety, all minors must be actively supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
We extend our sincere thanks to Sara Lee for supporting the fight against food insecurity and for sponsoring this community event!
