If you have a heart for feeding the hungry, we need you!  Project 216 is looking for volunteers to help run our packing events.  Project 216 volunteers assist with set up before the event, train and monitor the host volunteers as they pack the food, and assist with clean up after the event.  Volunteers should work well with people, be able to spend up to 5 hours standing and walking, be able to lift up to 35 pounds, and have a passion for feeding hungry and malnourished people locally and around the world.  As it takes working multiple events as a trainee before becoming proficient in the role, we are looking for recurring volunteers who are willing to work several events a year.  Event days and times vary, but the majority occur on Saturday mornings.
