Good vibes, for a good cause. That's the idea behind a Colorado food packing event, Slammin' Famine, which brings volunteers in the community together, to pack and ship meals around the world.
The spring 2024 packing event saw 2,400 volunteers sign up to pack from Thursday through Saturday, with sprints of packing happening for two hour stretches each of the days. The overall goal for the group was to pack 544,320 and, after two packing periods on Thursday alone volunteers packed more than 140,000 bags.
