Ready, Pack, Go: WeekEND Hunger Backpack Kit Packing

Calendar Happens On May 11, 2022
Time 9am- 12pm
Expired

Description

 

United Way NCA is in need of volunteers to help pack 600 healthy snack kits as part of our WeekEND Hunger backpack program.  

The mission of the Weekend Hunger Backpack Program is to expand free and healthy food options to children experiencing food insecurity in our region so that they are able to attend school prepared and ready to learn.

We accomplish this mission by:

  • Securing cost-effective solutions to providing weekend meals to students in need.
  • Providing a safe environment for students in need of nutritional support to access food.

 These supports do not exist over the weekend, so many Community Schools have adopted Weekend Backpack Programs. Weekend Backpack Programs send food home discreetly on Fridays to ensure students are well fed over the weekend and come back on Monday mornings ready to learn.
