Distribute Food Boxes (Backpack Program Initiative)

Expired

Description

 

This volunteer opportunity is to distribute food boxes as part of the Backpack Program Initiative. The Backpack Program provides nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to children to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays to avoid hunger when they can't depend on school meals. However, during Covid-19, families are instead receiving a food box that helps that during this time. 

As a volunteer you will: 

  • Place food boxes inside cars 
  • Be able to lift more than 15 pounds
  • Meet at Hastings Gymnasium ( Enter Door #6 at AHS) 
  • Arrive at 1:30 pm
  • Wear gloves
  • Practice Social Distancing 
  • Wear a mask * Please bring your own masks*
