Meat Packaging Teams

Description

Join Our Meat Packing Team – Make a Huge Impact in Just a Few Hours!

What started as a small effort has grown into one of the Interfaith Food Pantry’s most powerful programs. When we first launched our chicken and beef packing project, we hoped it might save about $50,000 a year. Today, thanks to the dedication of volunteers like you, our savings have nearly doubled – reaching close to $100,000! That means more food, more choice, and more dignity for our neighbors in need.

We’ve also expanded our efforts to include Halal chicken, ensuring our Muslim customers are served with respect and care. Each packing session provides enough meat to nourish families for two whole months – that’s an incredible impact from just one afternoon of teamwork.

Here’s how it works:

  • We pack once a month, alternating between chicken and beef.

  • A full crew of 12 volunteers can get everything done in just 2 ½ to 3 hours.

  • Together, we make sure hundreds of families in our community have healthy, high-quality protein on their tables.

✨ It’s fast, it’s fun, and it makes a real difference. Come join us, roll up your sleeves, and help us keep this life-changing program going strong!
