The Seventh Arcadia Cares: Food for Kidz Packathon
The Seventh Arcadia Cares: Food for Kidz Packathon is set for March 3-4. Signups are now available through the Prince of Peace website – popphoenix.org. The event will be held at Prince of Peace Church, 56th Street/Indian School, and all ages from 3 to 103 (or older!) are welcome to volunteer and help pack rice and bean meals to support local food banks and others in need. This event is a great volunteer opportunity for girl/boy scout & daisy/brownie troops, sports teams, youth, church & school groups, book clubs – anyone who wants to volunteer for a couple hours to help feed our hungry neighbors. Meal packing shifts are planned for Friday, March 3 – one hour shifts from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, and Saturday, March 4 – one-hour shifts from 8:30 AM to 1:15 PM. The Packathon organizers are hoping to pack 120,000 meals this year to bring the seven-year total to over 700,000 meals. Donations and Sponsorships to pay for the ingredients are always appreciated and can be made through the Prince of Peace website.
