Dream Dinners, a national meal-assembly company that brings families together around the dinner table, along with its nonprofit, the Living the Dream Foundation, and Friends and Family Community Connection (FFCC), a nonprofit that brings awareness to the issue of hunger, is looking for volunteers of all ages to assist with San Luis Obispo’s first Fight Against Hunger event, taking place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 1, 2016.
During the event volunteers will be assigned to a station and, as a group, they will assemble food packages that have been scientifically designed to reverse the effects of malnutrition and starvation. Each meal consists of 52 percent soy protein, 21 different vitamins and minerals, and dehydrated vegetables and rice. Through the event, which is taking place at Central Coast Gymnastics (21 Zaca Lane, San Luis Obispo, California 93401), organizers hope to package 40,000 meals, 13,000 of which will be distributed to the local community by the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo.
Individuals interested in volunteering can sign up at slodd.eventbrite.com or can contact Dream Dinners storeowner Lauren Persall at (805) 786-4852 or [email protected]. Shifts are available in a variety of increments and times, and are open to all ages.
