Get Involved

Community Food 2 Kids exists because our community chooses to show up. Volunteer, donate food, run a drive or spread the word.

Volunteer

Join us at a bagging night.

Bagging nights are a fun, hands-on way for kids and families to make a difference together. They happen about every six weeks during the school year.

  • Families and children work together to pack weekend food bags.
  • All ages welcome, no experience needed!
  • A great way for students to earn community service hours.

Sign-ups open one week before each event to help us manage space and supplies.
