Join us for the 3rd annual, The Greatest Give Back, on Thursday, June 9, 2022, hosted by the Muhammad Ali Center and Metro United Way!
Muhammad Ali would have celebrated his 80th birthday in January of 2022. To mark that milestone, volunteers at The Greatest Give Back will work in three shifts to create and assemble 800 diaper bundles, 800 laundry kits and 800 snack kits that will be distributed to local nonprofit agencies across our seven-county service area in Kentucky and Southern Indiana - giving the greatest gift of all – service to others.
Help us “TKO the need” by participating in The Greatest Care from 12:30 - 2 p.m. Volunteers will decorate bags* and assemble 800 Healthy Snack Kits that will help ensure that children participating in out of school time programs have access to healthy snacks.
* No art skills are necessary to decorate the bags. You can trace designs or create your own.
Why is this project important?
A critical component to a healthy life is nutrition.
During the school year, at-risk students rely on the school system as their source of food. Lack of access and resources is magnified when school is out.
- 1 in 8 people in Louisville are food insecure
- In the United States, nearly one out of four children live in a food insecure household.
Food insecurity has implications on a child’s future physical and mental health, academic achievement, and economic productivity.
We are working, UNITED, with you to ensure that children can grow up in a strong, vibrant, and healthy community where every person has the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.
