Power Pack Creation with Food for Others

Posted at h in Past Events by

UPDATE 03/31/22: The April 1 packing date previously announced has been canceled. The packing will now take place ONLY on April 8.

 

Food for Others, Power Pack Program (P3) sends weekend backpack meals home with students who do not get enough food on the weekends without their school-provided meals. The students tend to be on the free and reduced meals program during the week and have limited access to food over the weekend.  

The Power Pack Program provides weekend meals to more than 3,000 students at 44 schools throughout Fairfax County each week during the school year. The weekend meal pack, which contains two items each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus two snacks and two drinks, helps alleviate a child’s hunger and allows them to come to school on Monday morning fed, focused, and ready to learn.

 

Date: April 8, 2022

Time: Friday 3 PM – 5 PM

Location: 2938 Prosperity Ave, Fairfax, VA 22031  

Volunteers must be at least 12 years of age, wear closed-toed shoes, and a face mask. The packing will take place at the Food for Others warehouse, so please dress to get dirty. Layers are recommended, as the warehouse can intensify both heat and cold. All participants will be required to sign a waiver before packing.
