Volunteer for Buddy Box Packing, Sunday, August 10
Please sign up to help pack Buddy Boxes and join your Colonial Hills neighbors at the Worthington warehouse of the Family Mentor Foundation, 6520 Singletree Dr, Columbus, OH 43229 — on Sunday, August 10, from 1:00-3:00 PM.
Many children who qualify for free lunch or reduced fee lunch at their schools have little to eat at home and return to school after weekends distracted by their hunger and unable to focus on learning.
Family Mentor Foundation’s goal is to bridge the gap; to send these kids home with a Buddy Box every Friday during the school year to alleviate their hunger. A Buddy Box is a box filled with kid-friendly, nutritious, nonperishable, individual sized-food items that are easy for children to eat or prepare on their own. These meals and snacks help sustain children on the weekends when they are not in school.
Please visit Family Mentor Foundation for more information about additional opportunities to volunteer or donate.
