HOW CAN I HELP?
The program is coordinated by SCRC and community volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, we need volunteers to organize food drives, pack food bags, and deliver food bags to schools and homes. Community organizations and businesses can also partner with Hound Packs. Please contact Jami, SCRC Coordinator at coordinator-scrc@shipresources.org to find out how you or your group can get involved.
​​
This program is funded by community members through monetary or food donations. We partner with many local churches that support us financially or collect food items. We store food and pack the bags at the Shoebox Supply Warehouse every week.
