Rotary seeks volunteers to pack meals Nov. 21 at Crossroads Bible Church
The Meals of Hope event, with The Food Depot, welcomes volunteers of all ages; no experience needed.
LOS ALAMOS - The Rotary Club of Los Alamos is looking for volunteers of all ages to pack meals for northern New Mexico families on Saturday, Nov. 21, starting at 9 a.m. at Crossroads Bible Church.
The club is partnering with Meals of Hope and The Food Depot. Its newsletter gives the goal as 40,000 meals, up from the 25,000 meals volunteers packed last year, and the club says every dollar provides 3 to 5 meals.
No experience is necessary, the club says, though it recommends staying at least three hours. Volunteers who don't want to wear a hair net are welcome to bring a hat.
Meals of Hope training is Monday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m. Setup is Friday, Nov. 20, from 3:30 to 6 p.m., followed by a Q&A at 6 p.m. Volunteers can sign up, and tax-deductible donations are accepted, at rotarylosalamos.org/meals.
