Operation Backpack provides weekly food bags to get students through the weekend when school meals are not available. Participating children are discreetly given these backpacks to take home, enabling them to come back to school on Monday with the good nutrition and focus they need to achieve academic success. Operation Food Search is in need of volunteers to pack these bags on a weekly basis.
Volunteers will pack the bags according to the weekly menu, double knot each bag, pack 5 bags per box, and palletize the boxes so they're ready for delivery to the schools. In addition to packing the bags, some volunteers will be need to continually build boxes and restock the packing tables.
This opportunity is available on Wednesday, March 6th from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Length of group projects are dependent on the speed and number of volunteers. This opportunity may not require the full two hours to complete.
