Non-Profit News: Volunteer with GiftAMeal’s Team in St. Louis!

Join the St. Louis-based GiftAMeal team as we pack food at our local food bank partner, Operation Food Search.

Operation Backpack

It is a new year and a new opportunity to help the community and make sure no child ever goes without a meal. So, put on your comfortable kicks and sign up to pack some lunches for a cause.

They will be organizing nutritious food into bags for local kids in need for the Operation Backpack program. These bags will be sent home with students the following Friday to give them food throughout the weekend to eat. There is no charge for students, and the food is given to them discretely so there is no stigma associated with it.

Space is limited, so sign up today (must be 16 or older).

WHEN: Tuesday, January 9th, 2pm-4pm

WHERE: Operation Food Search, 1644 Lotsie Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63132
