The Ohio State Office of Student Services is holding a Food Kindness event during Hunger Action Month in September. Extension is one of the partners for this program, which helps those who are experiencing food insecurity in Ohio. You are invited to participate in the Be Kind food packing event on Sept. 11. There will be two food packing sessions held that day, and both will be in the Tom W. Davis Gym at the RPAC (337 Annie and John Glenn Avenue). Helpers have a choice between the two sessions:
-
Session 1: 1-3 p.m. (12:30 p.m. check in. The project will start promptly at 1 p.m.)
-
Session 2: 6-8 p.m. (5:30 p.m. check in. The project will start promptly at 6 p.m.)
Hundreds of volunteers will pack more than 350,000 meals during these two sessions through Pack Shack. Join students, staff, athletes, employees, alumni, fans, and families to pay forward and participate in this great act of kindness.
This year, food will be delivered by the university to select locations in Adams, Brown, Highland, Hamilton, and Montgomery counties. Food also will be delivered to several places in Franklin County.
You can check out a short video from a previous packing party for a sneak peek at this family-friendly program — youtube.com/watch?v=POT65pNMxvw.
