Event description

Since 2016, Buckeyes have packed more than 2 million meals for Ohio communities and this year, we invite you to help us continue that tradition of kindness and service. The BE KIND Food Packing Event (with 9.11 Day.org Foundation) will take place on Thursday, September 17, with two sessions for you to choose from. 

Hundreds of volunteers will gather at the RPAC to pack more than 300,000 meals during this highenergy, high-impact, feed-the-funnel party! Join students, staff, faculty, athletes, alumni, fans, families, and community members as we come together to make a meaningful difference through this incredible act of kindness.
