Join us on Saturday, March 28 ^th for the 6 ^th Annual Hunger Heroes Spring Edition. Volunteers will be needed for a variety of positions as we work to fill 1,000 kid-friendly meal packs for kids to have over spring vacation. Shifts will begin at 8 am and go until 3 pm. We strongly encourage families to come together to give back.

If you feel sick, please stay home. If you know in advance that you are unable to attend, please contact Victoria at vgrasela@unitedwayofgnb.org or 508-994-9625 ext. 210.

Position descriptions:

• Muscle Marvels & Sorting Superheroes will work to unload the boxes of collected food off of the United Way of Greater New Bedford trucks. Once all food is unloaded, volunteers will unpack the boxes and sort food items. This opportunity may require heavy lifting.
• Meal Champions are responsible for packing the meal items on the “shopping list” in a drawstring bag to be loaded into the United Way of Greater New Bedford trucks.  This opportunity is for volunteers of any age.

Once you select the shift you want, click the "Respond as team" button. Here you will be prompted to enter a team name, number of people on your team, your t-shirt size, and to consent to our media release, which can be viewed here. On the next page, you will be prompted to enter the names of everyone on your team, their t-shirt size, and age. 

Due to the amount of families looking to volunteer for Hunger Heroes, we kindly ask that you only sign up for ONE shift. If you have a community group looking to give back, please contact Victoria at vgrasela@unitedwayofgnb.org or 508-994-9625 ext. 210.

This year's event will be at Keith Middle School located at 225 Hathaway Blvd, New Bedford.
