The NCPLA Community Service Committee Needs You!

Please Volunteeer Today!

The first project the Community Service Committee will undertake this year is BackPack Buddies.

BackPack Buddies is part of the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and provides  food for children who may not have an appropriate amount of food at home, with weekend meals during the school  year.

The children - selected by school principals, guidance counselors,  and supervisors of
various after school programs - receive a backpack  containing six balanced meals and two healthy snacks at the end of every  week. This ensures that they have nutritious meals over the weekend.

NCPLA has committed to filling 2 one-hour shifts on Tuesday, April 22. We need 10
volunteers for each one-hour shift. The shifts are from 1 – 2 p.m. and 2 – 3 p.m. and will be filled on a first come, first pick basis.

The back packs filled by NCPLA volunteers will feed more than 1,400 children!

Please volunteer today by contacting Cady Thomas at cthomas@ncrealtors.org to let her know you are willing give one hour of your day to help provide healthy weekend meals to a child in need.
