Join Us in Supporting Seniors: Volunteer at Hawaii Foodbank’s Senior Food Box Packing Event
Are you looking for a way to make a tangible difference in someone’s life? Look no further! The Hawaii Foodbank invites members of our Rotary Club to participate in the Senior Food Box packing event. Through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), we offer vital assistance to low-income seniors who are facing the challenge of food insecurity.
Event Details:
- Date & Time: The packing takes place from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, with check-in starting promptly at 7:45 am.
- Location: Packing will be under a tented area in our parking lot. Street parking is available on Kilihau or Kakoi. Remember, parking at Goodwill is not allowed.
- Sign Up: Please fill out the volunteer form (https://www.volgistics.com/appform/348316126) if it’s your first time joining us.
What You’ll Do:
You will be an integral part of the team that packs over 2,000 “healthier choice” food boxes for our senior citizens in O`ahu and Kaua`i. It’s a chance to contribute your energy and time towards a very noble cause.
What to Wear & Bring:
- Solid shoes with covered heels and toes
- Hair tied back, pants/jeans or appropriate-length shorts
