It is a lot of fun and takes less than 3 hours on a Saturday morning. There’s a role for everyone from children to senior citizens. Food packing tasks include weighing the food packages, re-filling the food bins, and sealing the packages.
In past years we have packed about 11,000 meals in just one morning! We look forward to having this year's event in the spring of 2022. Come join the fun and help set a new record, as we provide nutritious meals to thousands of people in need!
