More than 200 regular volunteers are the heart, soul, mind and muscles that bring SOK’s mission to life. They participate five to six times each school year and help with anything from meal bagging and delivering meal bags to schools, to working at SOK events.
Serving Our Kids proudly recognizes two special groups of volunteers – SOK volunteer supervisors and SOK meal bag drivers – who literally keep our operations rolling from our warehouse to the schools we serve.
SOK has 10 Volunteer Supervisors who keep our meal-bagging motor running smoothly and efficiently. They educate new volunteers about SOK’s mission and operations. They make sure our meal-bagging teams are fully fueled with thousands of food items. And they ensure the quality of each weekend meal bag before it leaves our warehouse.
Without our Volunteer Supervisors, we would have to hire paid employees to perform these critical duties. And we simply could not create enough weekend meal bags to help feed more than 4,000 food-insecure kids each week during the school year.
All the work of our volunteer baggers and supervisors would be for naught if we couldn’t deliver our weekend meal bags to the schools and, ultimately, to the students who need them. That takes a team of 30 volunteer delivery drivers.
Our volunteer drivers deliver thousands of weekend meal bags 40 different schools throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Between two and four times a month, they donate their time, their vehicles and the gas to make sure each meal bag reaches its destination on time.
Twice a year, SOK asks our participating schools to give us feedback about our services. More than half of the schools that reply mention how much they appreciate our drivers and their vital role in SOK’s operations. They also mention the close personal relationship between many of our drivers and school administrators. They’re more than drivers. They’re SOK ambassadors.
Thank You Volunteer Drivers!
