Amplify good?

Hold our mic! 🎤

This week we gathered hundreds of volunteers to pack meal kits which were distributed to six local food pantries for over 1200 families.

A lot of people got in on the opportunity to do a lot of good!

You can give directly to this project to help ensure it happens next year on our Give Where You Live page: givewhereyoulive.net/unitedwaykearney

Here are some notes and reminders for United Against Hunger tomorrow.

1. Please arrive before the start time. For example, if you are in the first group (9:45-11:30), instructions will begin at 9:45am. Likewise for the 11:45 group. There are a few steps before instructions, so please provide enough time to check in and wash your hands.
2. Location: CityLight Church in the old Hub building. You can park in the city lot to the east, or along the street. Consider car pooling with coworkers or others on your team.
**If you are in the evening group, please do not park directly in front of the church. The food pantries will need to have access to the front doors to load the pantry packs.
3. When you arrive, enter through ENTRANCE B! This is important! You will navigate through the hallway to checkin and to access bathrooms/sinks to wash your hands before getting your aprons and hairnets.
4. After you have checked in and washed your hands, you will find your group in the Launch Pad.
5. You will receive instructions in the Launch Pad before you enter the auditorium for the event.
6. The event is mostly standing up. If you are concerned about your ability to stand for long periods of time, you are welcome to bring a stool.
7. You are welcome to bring a bottle of water, however we ask that you do not bring other food or drink. You will be able to store your belongings under the tables.
8. Children are welcome. There are jobs and activities for people of all ages.
9. At the end of your time slot, you will be able to take photos with your team and exit through the main doors.
10. HAVE FUN!!! It's common for groups to get competitve and for dance parties to break out in the middle of the event.

We look forward to seeing you there! Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
