    Description

    Fifth Third Bank Meal Packaging Event

    Outreach-Feed6 is now partnering with Fifth Third Bank in hosting our Second Annual "5th/3rd Day" meal packaging event, during which we will produce 50,000 nutritious meals for food-insecure kids, families, seniors, and veterans in the Chicago area. Our meal packaging events are extraordinary spirit-enriching celebrations of giving and caring in which anyone of any age or background can participate and extend love to those in need. It’s a work of joy - with a high-vibe DJ, rousing music, entertainment, and the opportunity to share a celebratory experience with friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, work associates, and community residents.

    Teams of 10 to 12 volunteers will staff production lines producing thousands of delicious, nutritious meals of Tomato in Basil Sauce - fortified with soy protein, nutrients, and vitamins - and bagged, labeled, weighed, heat-sealed, and boxed employing strictly observed safety and hygienic precautions. Throughout the experience, Feed6 supervises production flow and quality.

    Our meals will be distributed to food-insecure neighbors by the Greater Chicago Food Depository throughout Chicago and Cook County.
