Volunteer Drivers for BackPack Beginnings Needed!
BackPack Beginnings is looking for a few additional volunteer drivers to assist two existing Saint Pius groups with delivering bags of food to Cone Elementary and Irving Park Elementary. Deliveries typically occur on Thursdays during the school day throughout the school year. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for as many driving slots as they would like, but most drivers typically deliver approximately once per month. The driving commitment consists of picking up bags of food from the BPB warehouse (near Wendover/Norwalk intersection) and dropping the bags off with a staff member at either Cone Elementary or Irving Park Elementary.
BackPack Beginnings helps to feed, clothe and comfort children in need, serving over 21,000 children annually. The bags of food that you will be delivering will go home directly with the children to ensure that they will have kid-friendly and nutritious food and pantry staples to fill the weekend food gap. For more information about BackPack Beginnings, please visit BackPackBeginnings.org. For more information or to sign up for this volunteer opportunity, please contact Laura Duggins at 770-853-4598 or LauraBDuggins@gmail.com
