Kent County Community Action collaborates with several partners throughout Kent County to distribute United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) food to eligible households on a quarterly basis.
Our packing day event is about 4 hours and we hope to pack all boxes needed on distribution day. We may need additional help morning of to pack the remainder of boxes.
Our one-day distribution will include providing eligible households with a box of food from The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). Volunteers will be needed to help collect client information, pack boxes, and distribute food to the public.

Teenagers 14+ are welcome to volunteer if an adult guardian goes with them.

On Packing day, we are looking for about 10-20 volunteers for each shift: Full 12 pm - 4 p; Shift 12 pm - 2 pm; Shift 2 pm - 4 pm

On Distribution Day, we are looking for about 15-20 volunteers for each shift: Full 8am-7pm; Shift 8am - 10am; 10am- 12:30pm; Shift 12:30pm- 3pm; Shift 3pm - 5:30pm; Shift 5:30pm- 7pm
