Food Bag Packing

As a Food Bag Packing Volunteer, you’ll join other members from our wonderful community at our Volunteer Center in Roseville to help pack food. In this high-energy and high-impact volunteer opportunity, you’ll form assembly lines and pack bags containing approximately four meals of good food that is nutritious, delicious, and relevant. Every food bag we distribute to hungry children in our community is packed by volunteers with a variety of shelf-stable fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains.

Please note: No experience or diploma needed; Every Meal will provide all necessary training. We strongly encourage people of color, indigenous, immigrants, refugees, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities to volunteer.
