Canceled-Saturday of Service: Kids Against Hunger Packing Event (Multiple Shifts Available)

Site Information: Kids Against Hunger is a student organization at CWRU whose mission is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and throughout the world. KAH works with local partners in Cleveland to pack and distribute highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole.

Service Information: This is a food packing event comprised of four different shifts with the goal of packing 5,000 meals for hungry children. Volunteers will help with set up and clean up during the the first and last shifts. Volunteers on the assembly line will help with a variety of tasks associated with packaging the meals. Some heavy lifting may be required and volunteers may be required to stand for the duration of their shift. The shifts available are:

• 10:00-11:30 am - help unload the meals from the truck, set-up tables, and help get the room ready for the packaging event. Some heavy lifting may be required. There may be time to begin to pack meals after set up.
• 11:30 am - 1:00 pm - volunteers will work in small groups and may stand for the duration of the shift. Tasks might include mixing ingredients, weighing the packages, and sealing the packages.
