The Salvation Army is seeking volunteers to help package one million meals for survivors of the January 12 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Army is partnering with Navistar Inc. to recruit volunteers to work two-hour shifts packaging meal ingredients into plastic bags, which will be shipped to Haiti for Salvation Army officers and staff to distribute to earthquake survivors.
The two-day food packaging event will be held Saturday, May 22 between 8am and 6pm, and Sunday, May 23 between 1pm and 6pm at Navistar, 10400 W. North Avenue, Melrose Park, IL.
