Opportunity Details

FOOD: Thanksgiving Meal Distribution



Porchlight is providing Thanksgiving dinners for 60 families who wouldn't be able to afford them otherwise. The families they serve have limited options due to food allergies. 

Volunteers will help set up tables, organize, assemble, and distribute Thanksgiving meal kits. Additional tasks may include client check in and helping breakdown the distribution by putting the canopy and tables away and cleaning up.

  • Safety: Please do not attend this project if you have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or has been exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 within the last 2 weeks. Porchlight's clients are immunocompromised and they're doing everything they can to keep them safe. 

  • Physical Requirements: Bending, lifting, carry up to 20lbs. Restroom access is only available via stairs.

  • ​Note: Signing up as a team has been disabled for this project. Last minute team cancellations for a shift this small have been extremely detrimental to Porchlight being able to distribute food to families in need so only individual sign up is allowed and groups cannot be accommodated during this shift.
