Since our Round Up! campaign started in May, shoppers have donated more than $37,000 for TABLE’s Summer Backpack program. TABLE makes the first summer delivery of backpack meals this Thursday. Each week throughout the year, including the summer, TABLE volunteers begin a three-day process of sorting the food and preparing the bags for a Thursday delivery. Twice during the summer, we give their volunteers a break and host a community-scale food sort at our Carrboro store.
Join us on Thursday, July 6, starting at 7:30 AM on the west patio of our Carrboro store for our first community food sort of the summer. We need volunteers to help us fill bags with healthy food—enough for 7 meals and snacks for the kids to have over the weekend. No experience necessary! When we finish (around 9 AM), we’ll walk the bags to TABLE’s office in a procession of shopping carts.
