Packing Changes for the 2016-2017 School Year
We are slightly changing the way in which we pack and deliver bags of food. Previously we received the food from Meijer every four weeks and then we packed and delivered every week. Starting the 2016-2017 school year we are streamlining the process. We are still going to take delivery of the food every four weeks as before but we are going to pack it all into bags on one day! Two weeks worth of food bags will be stored and two weeks worth of bags will be delivered to the schools. i.e. the food will be delivered to the schools every two weeks.
The kids will still get a bag of food every week - they will know no difference from before.
Therefore, there will be one big pack every four weeks. The pack will be done on a Wednesday morning and will likely take all morning. We are currently working through the process as a Steering Committee but once all the wrinkles have been ironed out, we will be opening up the packing to volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering to help pack, or any other area, please go to the Volunteer Tab and fill out the information.
