In-Person Packing Events

Your employees will experience an impactful, hands-on volunteer opportunity by assembling bags of food for kids in Louisville who might otherwise go hungry. We will work with you to provide all the supplies and support you need to host a packing event, whether at a corporate office or location of your choice.

How do packing events work?

Commit to packing a minimum of 500 bags at $8 per bag for a total contribution of $4,000. Your contribution pays for the food and its delivery to the event, event supplies, and bag transportation to the designated Blessings in a Backpack program.

  • Designate event lead(s) to coordinate logistics with a member of the Blessings team.
  • Gather a minimum of 15 volunteers.
  • Book your event six weeks in advance.
  • Show up, have fun, build community, and feed the kids!
