The purpose of Five.12 is to make and distribute lunches for kids who might not have enough food over the weekend. Five.12 has a warehouse over by Timberline where on Wednesday nights at 6.00 you can go and volunteer to pack lunches for students in need that can discreetly receive food to take home over the weekend. Many of the kids that are helped rely heavily on school breakfast and lunch for food during the week but then don't have food over the weekend. So volunteers pack thousands of bags of food and then deliver the bags to schools, where teacher leave the bags in kids backpacks so they can have food over the weekend. They've already had 26,291 weekend backpacks delivered this school year! "No one is useless in this world, who lightens the burdens of another." -Charles Dickens

"When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it's make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who's in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you're investing your time in that.
