Volunteers needed for our upcoming Back-To-School Backpack event!

On Saturday, July 26th, we will be handing out groceries, backpacks, and school supplies to families and their children at Norte Vista High School in Riverside. Volunteers will assist with filling backpacks with school supplies and setting up the event, as well as getting backpacks to kids and groceries to their families.

The distribution event will take place starting at 9:00 am to while supplies last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register for more than one shift? No. Please limit registration to one shift for the day. We want to give as many people the opportunity to volunteer as possible. Please choose one shift that is ideal for you. In the event a volunteer registers for two shifts, Project Boon may cancel extra registrations made. This is to ensure there are spots available for prospective volunteers.

When should I arrive at the event? Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled shift time in order to park and make your way to the volunteer check-in.

What do I do when I arrive at the event? Volunteers will be asked to park in the designated parking area, which will be announced before the event. There will be a volunteer check-in booth near the designated volunteer parking area. Please check in before your shift, as you will be assigned a position for the duration of your shift. You will also be given a Project Boon T-Shirt when you arrive, so please be prepared with your shirt size.

What is the minimum age to volunteer? You must be at least 14 years of age, accompanied by an adult chaperone, to volunteer at Eat & Be Well. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Do I need to sign up to volunteer ahead of time? Yes. Time slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We will not add additional shifts once spots fill up.

Are there other ways I can support Project Boon? Yes! We gladly accept monetary donations or sponsorships for our events. If you would like to make a financial donation, please click here.
