Join the American Marketing Association and United Way for a snack pack kit donation drive and assembly supporting children facing food insecurity in our community.
The event will take place on March 2 from 5:00–6:00 PM in Room 3225, Lindner College of Business and is open to all students.
Participants are encouraged to bring donation items and stay to help assemble snack packs that will be distributed by United Way. Donations will be combined so volunteers can work together to create complete snack packs and write encouragement notes for the children receiving them. Register so we know how many volunteers to expect.
Volunteer Hours
- Up to 3 volunteer hours for donations (1 hour per qualifying item donated)
- 1 additional hour for attending and helping assemble kits

Each snack pack must include the following categories. All food items must be non-perishable and individually packaged.
