Meal Kit Packing – Day 2
United Way’s Meal Kit Packing event allows community members to assist with packing and distributing 1,750 meal kits to local families. The meal kits will feed a family of four breakfasts, lunches, and dinners over one weekend.
There are five different volunteer tasks available. When registering, please be sure to sign up for the task you are interested in from the choices below:
Shoppers: Shoppers will “shop” with a shopping cart to collect all the food needed for one box and then take the items to the packing station.
Packers: Packers will double check the shopping list and neatly pack the food into a box.
Movers: Movers, using carts, will take food from packing stations to taping station, then from taping stations to pallets. IMPORTANT: Repeated bending and heavy lifting required.
Tapers: Tapers perform one last quality check on the boxes, add the recipe cards, and tape the boxes shut.
Refillers: Refillers build boxes, restock food on the tables, and breakdown cardboard.
