One item discussed at the recent Marshall County Food Insecurity meeting was the food packaging event coming up on April 3rd. Last year students with Philanthropy groups at East Marshall, West Marshall, and Marshalltown high schools partnered with the Community Foundation of Marshall County and packaged 50,000 meals. They are planning to do that again this year and need your help. These high school philanthropy groups are looking for 240 volunteers to help with this project. The volunteers will come in 2 shifts, the first group will help 5:30 – 6:45, and the second group helps 6:30 – 7:45. Volunteers need to be at least 8 years old and able to stand for 1 hour. The food will be distributed all across Marshall County throughout the year. To sign up to volunteer you can contact Julie Hitchens at the Community Foundation of Marshall County.
