Description

**If you are on the "Join Team _______" link, scroll to the very bottom to hit join team button.** (You are if the top of your screen you are on says it.)

Dr. King believed that many social ills could be defeated through citizen service. Recognizing that 1 in 5 Genesee County families deal with hunger, we are setting out to combat this by engaging neighbors to help neighbors. Please join us for a day ON rather than a day off on Martin Luther King Jr. Day! We will be packing 200,000 meals to provide to local Genesee County residents who are experiencing food insecurity.

No experience needed and all ages can participate - great for kids (ages 5+). 

Registration is required for each volunteer. (For help, email dwoodruff@unitedwaygenesee.org)
