Packing is Easy, Fun and Rewarding!
We invite you to join us in helping Milford children who are food insecure. Just 30 minutes of your time makes a world of difference!
Packs are held at the Plymouth Building located at 34 West Main Street. During the school year, our packs our are held on Thursdays mornings at 9 am. On occassion we move the time to an evening pack at 6 pm. We also have packing events over the summer. Check our calendar below for special summer dates and times.
Food 2 Kids could not provide packs for so many students without the generous volunteers who contribute their time to help. Sign-up to pack on your own or come with a group of 12-15 people. We have businesses, friends, neighbors, various local organizations and more who assist us on packing days.
All packers must register in advance. Packs are limited to adults and teens 15 and over. We do have special dates, "Kids Helping Kids", for children under age 15 that are held 2x per year. Children find great joy in helping others and these packing events are always popular so sign-up early. Check our packing schedule for our special " Kids Helping Kids" dates.
What happens at Packing Event?
We set up the items on tables in a horseshoe pattern. Each packer will walk around the horseshoe filling their bag with one of each item. Typically there are 12 items in each bag. When a bag is filled, it's left on a table where 2 volunteers tie it and then place it in the delivery area.
