More than 47 million Americans are food insecure\u2014including thousands of families right here in Central Indiana. On Saturday, December 12 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., roll up your sleeves and volunteer with Pack Away Hunger at a meaningful meal packing event. Together, we’ll assemble 15,000 nutritious meals for our neighbors. Give a few hours of your time to make a real, local impact and experience the power of coming together to nourish our community.<\/p>\n
This is hands-on service at its best\u2014an energetic assembly line of neighbors, coworkers, families, and friends working side-by-side for a shared purpose. The meals we\u2019ll create are shelf-stable, heart-healthy, and packed with rice, vegetables, soy, and a vitamin\/mineral blend designed to deliver complete nutrition. Think Rice-A-Roni\u2014but better for the body and soul.<\/p>\n
Your support matters. A few hours of your time or a small donation can mean food security for someone who might otherwise go hungry. Every $1 donated provides meals, and each volunteer helps turn compassion into action.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"december-community-meal-pack-2","image":{"url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-cover-5.png","id":4775,"extension":"png","width":1200,"height":630,"filesize":395171,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":158,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":93752,"url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-cover-5-300x158.png"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":538,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":285952,"url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-cover-5-1024x538.png"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":46656,"url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-cover-5-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":403,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":168638,"url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GB-cover-5-768x403.png"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-12-12 10:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"12","day":"12","hour":"10","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-12-12 12:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"12","day":"12","hour":"12","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-12-12 15:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"12","day":"12","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-12-12 17:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"12","day":"12","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Indiana\/Indianapolis","timezone_abbr":"EST","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0.00"]},"website":"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/DecemberPublicPack2026","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Community Event","slug":"community-event","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":49,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":411,"filter":"raw","id":49,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/49","collection":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Volunteer Opportunity","slug":"volunteer-opportunity","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":47,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":33,"filter":"raw","id":47,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/47","collection":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/index.php?rest_route=\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":35816,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2026-02-02 12:00:48","date_utc":"2026-02-02 12:00:48","modified":"2026-02-02 12:00:48","modified_utc":"2026-02-02 12:00:48","url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/?tribe_venue=pack-away-hunger","venue":"Pack Away Hunger","slug":"pack-away-hunger","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page?id=35816","global_id_lineage":["dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page?id=35816"]},"organizer":[{"id":35980,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2026-02-02 11:57:22","date_utc":"2026-02-02 11:57:22","modified":"2026-02-02 11:57:22","modified_utc":"2026-02-02 11:57:22","url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/?tribe_organizer=pack-away-hunger","organizer":"Pack Away Hunger","slug":"pack-away-hunger","global_id":"dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page?id=35980","global_id_lineage":["dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page?id=35980"]}],"custom_fields":[],"is_virtual":false,"virtual_url":null,"virtual_video_source":""}],"rest_url":"https:\/\/dreamy-poincare.167-99-146-223.plesk.page\/index.php?rest_route=%2Ftribe%2Fevents%2Fv1%2Fevents%2F&page=1&per_page=12&start_date=2026-07-28+00%3A00%3A00&end_date=2028-07-28+23%3A59%3A59&status=publish&venue=35816","total":1,"total_pages":1}
