Community Service Event: SF Food Bank

Dear KAPS,

Thank you everyone once again for helping make KAPS SF Food Bank Community Service Day a successful one.
August 21st bring us yet another opportunity to help our local SF Food Bank.
Three hours is all it takes for us to help put food on the table for people who need it.
You will join an efficient, well organized project right on the day you come in to help sort, package and ready food for distribution.

Last time out, our section of volunteers packed about 1040 boxes of food to be distributed throughout San Francisco. That's over 20,000 pounds of food sorted and packed in less that 3 hours!
Check out our pictures on the KAPS gallery. http://kaps.org/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=7521

Please RSVP to me at dennis@kaps.org. See you soon!

Thanks again,
Dennis Kwon
KAPS Community Service Officer
