Crismon High students will help pack 89K meals for local families

Crismon High School will bring together students, families and community partners for a major day of service as more than 450 volunteers work to pack 89,500 meals for families in need across the Queen Creek area.

The Saturday, March 28 event to be held on Crismon High School’s campus is part of a focus on service, leadership and community impact. In partnership with JustServe and Harvest Pack, meals assembled during the event will directly support four local food banks, including the Queen Creek Unified School District’s Family Resource Center.

“Crismon students live out our core values every day, character, humility, and service,” Crismon High Principal Elyse Torbert stated in a district press release.“ This event is an opportunity to turn those values into action and make a meaningful difference for families in our own community.”

The initiative has been made possible through community support, including donations from Light the World Giving Machines and additional fundraising efforts totaling $26,850.

Along with students and families, first responders from the Queen Creek Fire & Medical Department and the Queen Creek Police Department will participate in organized packing sessions throughout the day.
