Grades: 6 - 12 (NHJS/NHS Members)
Name of Event: Gleaners Food Bank Service Day
Description: On October 25, members of INCA's National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and National Honor Society (NHS) will meet at Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis for a service opportunity. Hours will count toward required service hours. Volunteers will work together on an assembly line to scan, sort, and inspect donated food items as well as box and bag food donations to get them ready for those that rely on these donations in our community (every volunteer hour = 223 meals). This project requires repetitive lifting and bending. We will be indoors, but the warehouse is not climate-controlled. Please check for the weather. Volunteers should be comfortable standing for the 2-3 hour shift with minimal breaks.
We are not asking for parent chaperones at this time due to limited space.
Students 18 and older will need to register for the event using this link.
Volunteers under the age of 18 must turn in a copy of the waiver signed by the legal
parent/guardian (this is on the ticket page and the link will also be emailed to you). Volunteers may bring the completed form with them and turn it in at Gleaners warehouse or email the signed waivers to cbasey@gleaners.org
Please note: When you get your tickets, you should receive an email with all the above information as well as links! If you have issues, please reach out to the lead teacher(s).
