The Northeast Iowa Food Bank has announced that it is partnering with John Deere, the University of Northern Iowa’s Office of Community Engagement, Service and Leadership Council, and Panther Pantry, along with the Volunteer Center of the Cedar Valley, to host the “Pack The Dome: Martin Luther King Jr National Day of Service” event at the UNI-Dome on January 20 th , 2020. This event is expected to be the largest, single-day of
volunteering that has ever been organized in the Cedar Valley.
Participants are invited to help package food for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank that will be contributed towards its BackPack Program. The BackPack Program serves 4,100 children, at 145 different schools across northeast Iowa each month. Before school lets out for the weekend, children receive assembled bags of kid-friendly meals and snacks that can fit in their school bags. Last year the Northeast Iowa Food Bank distributed 150,000 of these BackPacks across its 16 county service area.
The event is open to groups and individuals of all ages. To sign up or learn more about the 2020 Pack The Dome event, visit www.PackTheDome.com.
