About this Event

COLUMBUS MEAL PACK FOR 9/11 DAY:
In Columbus, 400 volunteers will come together at the The Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University to pack 140,000 meals for people experiencing food insecurity in the local community. The meals will be donated to Mid-Ohio Food Collective. Nationwide, more than 30,000 volunteers will pack 9 million meals for those at risk of hunger in America.
SUPPORT STAFF VOLUNTEERS:
Our Support Staff Volunteers are critical to the success of each project. They ensure the projects run smoothly, that all attendees have a great experience, and that meals are packed and delivered to where they are most needed. Register today to be part of this incredible event.

We need:

  • Table Captains: As a Table Captain, you will take charge of one or two assembly lines, guiding a team of Meal Pack Volunteers. You will train volunteers as they arrive, troubleshoot, answer questions throughout the shift, and keep energy levels and spirits high!
  • Heavy Lifters/Runners: As a Heavy Lifter, you will play a vital role in maintaining a steady flow of supplies at each packing station, ensuring the meal-packing process runs smoothly and efficiently. Before volunteering for this role, it is very important to note that this role requires that you can lift and carry 50 lbs repeatedly for about 90 minutes.
  • Guest Services Teams: As a member of the Guest Services Teams, you will play a key role in welcoming, checking in, directing and assisting Meal Pack and/or Support Staff Volunteers as they arrive at the event, answering questions and troubleshooting challenges.
  • Set-Up and Break Down Support: As a member of the set-up or break down team, you will help get the space ready pre-event, or to clean up post-event.

The Commitment:

  • One-hour training session via Zoom, scheduled a week before the event.
  • Approximately 4 hours on the day of the event. Shift times may vary.

ABOUT 9/11 DAY:9/11 Day is the nonprofit organization that created and annually organizes the federally recognized September 11 National Day of Service & Remembrance. Our mission is to inspire millions of Americans and others to rekindle the remarkable spirit of unity and compassion that arose in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and to perform good deeds and other acts of service in tribute to the 9/11 victims, survivors, first responders, and members of our military who bravely rose in service in response to the attacks.
