United Way volunteers pack 40K meals for food banks
About 460 volunteers gathered at Prairie Park Elementary School for the Great Start Pack 2013 event by United Way of Douglas County. They packed 40,000 meals of beans and rice for Douglas County food pantries, with 100 volunteers per hour in shifts and a waiting list due to high demand. Out Reach International supplied the food and Just Food will distribute it through local pantries. Rick Martin demonstrated cooking during the event.
