Corporations or community groups (such as service organizations, nonprofits, religious organizations, colleges and universities, schools, book clubs, senior centers, and 55+ communities) can host a packing event to provide hands-on engagement opportunities for employees, customers, and members. Together, we can bridge the weekend hunger gap for kids in Central Florida.

Blessings in a Backpack can coordinate volunteer events at corporate offices or other designated facilities as follows:

• There is a 500-bag minimum for packing events, with a donation of $10 per bag, totaling a minimum of $5,000. Blessings will work with the packing event host to oversee coordination and set-up, and will be on-site during the event.
• The donation covers most of the supplies, including food items and delivery to the event location, grocery bags, markers, note cards, and transportation of packed bags to program sites.

Your Packing Event can be conducted within four weeks of notifying us. Start the planning process now by completing the interest form below.
