Kids Against Hunger™ consists of teams of people who volunteer their time, energy and finances to help bag life-saving food. When you volunteer your time or resources, we are able to save money that can then be applied toward the purchase of more ingredients for food. Packaging the food is a wonderful, fulfilling way to make a real difference! You can see the progress with each bag you package and box up. From the very young to senior citizens, any group can be involved in this process.

Kids Against Hunger Packaging Event
On the date of your scheduled event, come to our packaging facility in Des Moines. When you arrive at the facility you will be met by a staff member in our reception area and asked to register. You will then be taken to the packaging area and directed to your workstations. A Kids Against Hunger staff person will explain the packaging process. The simple process is manual and you don’t need to be ‘handy’ or have any special skills to take part. All the tools and materials you will need will be set up and waiting for you.
