Hands and Hearts
Once a quarter we challenge our community of Food Warriors to pack a weeks worth of bags at home in our March 27th Hands and Hearts event! Get your friends and family together to make care cards, pack bags, and feed kids!
Drop off on March 27th at the Portland Backpack Office or our Designated Marriot Location: Marriot Courtyard City Center
Help us hit our goal of 1300 sacks!
STEP 1
Check out our Food Buying Guide to see how much food to buy for your packing party. Remember we pack bags in groups of 8 and each bag needs TWO breakfast items, TWO different main dishes, TWO different snacks, and TWO fruits!
STEP 2
Create your care cards! Write a message of encouragement and care or a fun joke and then decorate it to make it fun! Here are some examples.
STEP 3
Pack your food bags, don’t tie them too tight! Food bags are given to kids in plastics bags so that the food stays dry and is easy to carry home.
Remember: we pack them in groups of 8 and each sack needs TWO breakfast items, TWO different main dishes, TWO different snacks, TWO fruits and a care card!
**Have someone double check each bag to make sure nothing it left out**
STEP 4
