Volunteer signups for meal packing
Volunteers needed! Did you know that there are folks in our community who experience high levels of food insecurity and don't have access to hot meals?
Want to help get ready-to-microwave meals in our pantry for folks in our community who need them most? Sign up to pack to-go meals at True Grits and bring them to Retriever Essentials!
This program is in partnership with Food Recovery Network and Campus Dining. We will be doing this every Monday through Thursday, so keep an eye out for future signups as well.
