PACKING DAY FAQS:
Do I need to pre-register to attend? No, just register on arrival to the warehouse. There will be a paper form to fill in with brief contact details, and a QR code sign in for safety acknowledgments and a film and media consent form.
Can kids come to help pack?
Kids are very welcome to attend with their parent or guardian. We do suggest primary school aged and above as they can generally follow instructions with gentle guidance.
Do I have to stay for the whole session?
Packing usually takes up to 1 hour, but if you do have to leave early just let a Pass the Snacks Geelong team member know.
What will I be doing?
There are many jobs which you can choose from: box makers, box packers, stock replenishers, quality controllers, joy sprinklers, box sealers and box stackers. Before we commence packing, a demonstration will be provided to help you decide which job might be best for you. Alternately, you can just watch too!
Is this event accessible and inclusive?
Yes, we aim to make our packing event accessible, inclusive and welcoming for all. The venue is ground level and wheelchair accessible, there is navigational signage, seating available, and a quiet space which can be accessed at any time during the packing session. If there is anything else we can assist with to help make the event more accessible and inclusive for you, please send an email to hello@passthesnacksgeelong.org.au or let one of our team members know on the day.

FOOD DRIVES & ONSITE PACKING
Gather a super crew together and hold your own food drive and packing session.
We will provide our 'shopping list' guide and the packaging items (boxes, tape, labels) and collect from you once you're done being awesome.
For schools holding their own food drives, we also offer a packing session onsite at the school with Pass the Snacks Geelong team members facilitating the session with the students.
