Volunteer: Lead Packer

*Lead Packers are required to have previously packed or helped as a warehouse assistant as well as to complete a short training session with us*   Lead Packers help organize the volunteer groups to make the packing event go smoothly and efficiently. There are 1 - 3 Lead Packers at every event, depending on the size of the event.  If you would like to have a regular volunteer opportunity, this might be the perfect job for you.   This is an easy commitment, either during the week or on the weekends.  Packing events are usually 1 ½ to 2 hours.  Your extra commitment would be arriving 30 minutes prior to the event and staying 15-30 minutes after the event.     Our packing events are typically on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Additional days might be added based on need.  You can volunteer once or twice a month (or more). This is also a great way to become more involved at FITB. There are also opportunities to sign up to be a volunteer driver, Holiday Backpack Team Member, or part of one of our committees throughout the year.

This is an active volunteer opportunity, so if you want to get your steps in this is for you! Lead packer training required. If you are not trained please reach out to volunteer@fillingintheblanks.org.

*MUST BE 21 or OLDER.
