Friends of ELS:
Come join a team of up to 75 volunteers on Saturday, May 4th from 1pm to 4pm at the University of Michigan Law School Alumni & Friends Service Day.
Chandra Davis University of Michigan Law School Grad
Jamala McFadden University of Michigan School of Law Grad
Date: May 4 in Atlanta at Atlanta Community Food Bank. This will be the ideal volunteer opportunity.
Location: Product Rescue Center 732 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30318-6628
Product Rescue Center volunteers sort, organize and pack recently donated food and personal care products for distribution to over 600 local partner agencies. The music is loud, the packing is fast-paced and the personal reward of making a difference can’t be replaced.
The registration link is http://vhub.at/UofMLaw, so adults please register before coming in for your shift. *Also please take into account our youth/chaperone requirements!* Your volunteer commitment is an important step in the fight to end hunger. We’re excited to have you join us at the PRC!

About the Product Rescue Center:
The Product Rescue Center (PRC) provides a great hands-on experience in a diverse and social atmosphere. Groups and individual volunteers come together to inspect, sort, and pack quality grocery donations to prepare for distribution to over 600 partner agencies across Georgia.
Food Donations:
With 1 in every 5 Georgians and 1 in 4 Georgia children at risk of hunger, the number of people requesting emergency food assistance continues to grow. If every volunteer visiting our Product Rescue Center brings just two cans of food, we would be able to provide approximately 2,750 additional meals each month!
*Please consider bringing as many nonperishable items as you can! You’re already making a tremendous difference by volunteering. Think how much that can be magnified by grabbing a couple of food items to bring with you when you come! We’re always in need of natural peanut butter, canned chicken, and canned fruits & vegetables.
