Sack Supper packing and delivery

Six days a week during the school year and summer, over 170 volunteers join us at the Kids' Food Basket headquarters to help create meals that will send kids to bed on a full stomach. With the help of these volunteers, more than 4,800 Sack Suppers are packed and delivered to 32 schools throughout greater Grand Rapids.

There are two ways you can join us by volunteering on-site at Kids' Food Basket:

Drivers
Drivers come to Kids' Food Basket on a scheduled day each week, between 1:30 and 2:00 pm, to deliver Sack Suppers to assigned schools. Depending on your location, driving usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Contact Austin (austin@kidsfoodbasket.org) or (616) 235-4532 if you would like to become a driver or add yourself to the substitute driver list.

Packers and Sandwich Makers
Packing takes place every Sunday through Friday, and sandwich making takes place every Sunday through Thursday.  Throughout most of the school year and summer we have opportunities during the day, after school, in the evenings, and on Sunday afternoons. Individuals, families (with children of at least kindergarten age), companies, church groups, and others are welcome. Contact Adrienne (adrienne@kidsfoodbasket.org) or (616) 235-4532 to talk about specific details for yourself or a group.
