OFF-SITE VOLUNTEERING

Packing kits for a cause is a great way to have fun and engage your team of 5 or 500 people to make a difference by building survival kits for men, women, gender-non-binary, and children. These kits will be given by our programs to those less fortunate in our community. You can organize a kit packing event through our partners at Kits for a Cause.
