BAGS OF CARE & WINTER GEAR
November through February
Pack Bags of Care — socks, gloves, hand warmers, hygiene and dental kits, a rain poncho — and sort winter survival gear for delivery to the camps alongside the meals. A packing session takes about two-three hours; a team of eight packs 120 bags. No food-handling card needed, so it's the easiest shift for a large group or a first-time team. Sessions run each Fall and Winter; ask us about hosting one for your company or school.
