How can I or my place of business help Kids' Meals?
Kids' Meals has many possibilities for volunteers and donors.
If a volunteer can hold a crayon, they can volunteer with us! Small children are welcome to come and decorate bags for the lunches go in. It is so important for children to know they can make a difference in their community at a young age.
Volunteers are welcome to come either on site at 205 W. Crosstimber St. or at another establishment (church, temple, school, ect...) by making sandwiches and/or lunches. If you choose to make sandwiches at your own site, Kids' Meals must approve the location(we follow strict health code guidelines and the facility must be at those standards). Please contact our office for any questions.
- You can go out on a route with or without a driver and delivery food to the children.
- You can donate a simple cash donation, food, or any other tangible items that can help Kid's Meals.
- You can ask your company or organization if they have a matching grant program.
- You could host a food drive. Food drives are welcome throughout the year, especially during the summer and holiday months. Kids' Meals will be happy to speak with your group and/or bring you information to distribute to your group.
- Below are six steps for hosting a successful food drive.
- First step, let us know you are interested in hosting the food drive.
- Second step, decide when, where, and who will lead the food drive.
- Third step, decide what you want to collect and for how long the drive will last.
- Setting a goal for the collected items is a great way to keep people motivated.
- Fourth step, promote your food drive by letting people know by posting flyer's and sending out letters and emails.
- Fifth step, start collecting the donated items.
- Keep track of what is donated so everyone will know the progress.
- Sixth step, coordinate with Kids' Meals about pick ups and/or drop offs of the food drive items.
- Please let Kids' Meals know if you have any questions or need ideas for making the most out of your drive!
- Below are six steps for hosting a successful food drive.
Kids' Meals is also open the third Saturday of each month for volunteers to come out and make sandwiches. Volunteers must call in advance to make arrangements to volunteer on the third Saturday. The Saturday opportunities fill up very quickly since Kids' Meals is very limited to space.
Once you have decided where you can best serve Kids' Meals, please contact our office to make the appropriate arrangements. We look forward to having you join the fight against childhood hunger.
