Wow—at this point we have had 240 people sign up to pack food in the last two days! We are very grateful for everybody who is coming together to help the nation of Haiti during this crisis.
To provide additional opportunities to pack, we have expanded all of our packing sessions to 4 packing lines, so all of our sessions can take 40 people. This will nearly double the number of volunteers that we can take on. We have also purchased ingredients for an additional 41,000 meals for the South Minneapolis satellite so that we have enough supplies for the expanded sessions.
If all these sessions fill up (and they just might), we’ll be looking to open more sessions. However, we will also need additional donations to make that happen.
Thanks again for making a difference!
There are many people here at Woodwinds Hospital, Woodbury that would like to pack meals. When is there open time in Bloomington? Thanks, Susie
Hi Susie! Bloomington currently is preparing for a 250,000 Meals Packathon on February 20 and 27 and their open sessions are on those dates. Our open times for both Bloomington and South Minneapolis can be found on our volunteer page at http://filltheirplate.org/volunteer. Thanks!
