Chai: Kit Assembly | December 16th | RSVP

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
— Helen Keller

 

Chai: Kit Assembly

Chai for Charity's mission is to inspire people to give in creative ways; Chai: Kit Assembly is designed to inspire families to give their time so that we can collectively assemble 2,000 kits together. The kits are then donated to a local nonprofit who can get them to folks who need them in our community.


2,000 Snack Bags for Local Kids

Did you know that 1 in 8 children in America live in households without consistent access to adequate food. And, on average, students who eat at school have been shown to achieve 17.5% higher scores on standardized math tests and attend 1.5 more days of school per year (No Kid Hungry).


Please RSVP | Limited Spots

Join us to assemble 2,000 snack bags for elementary-aged kids in Lafayette, Louisville and Erie; the kits will be donated to Community Food Share.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to participate? The event is free. Usually, we ask families to donate to help us buy supplies for the kits, but for our Q4 event, Chai for Charity is donating all of the supplies; Confluence SBC is donating the space, and Community Food Share will happily take your money donations through their website. 

Where should we park? You can park on the street or in the parking lot just east of Confluence, SBC.

Is there a minimum age to participate? Donors as young as 18mo have been able to participate in Chai: Assembly events. The activity involves placing snacks in sandwich bags. 

What should I expect from the event? We setup an assembly line with a different snack at each station (i.e. juice box station, cracker station, nuts station, etc.), and you take an empty sandwich bag to each station, add a snack and continue down the line until your bag is filled. See photos for more.

Can I bring a friend who hasn't RSVP'd? Unfortunately, no.  There is an occupancy limit in the space donated by Confluence SBC and we want to honor our commitment to them. We also have a limited amount of supplies earmarked for those who RSVP.
