Join us at Zoo Lights 2025 for a family-friendly, hands-on service project that brings DU’s Season of Giving to life! Volunteers will help guests assemble and decorate baking supply kits filled with pantry staples (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, parchment paper) that will be donated to the DU Food Pantry.
This project provides pantry patrons — many of whom are international students — with useful, culturally inclusive food staples. Each kit will be packaged in a decorated box, tied with ribbon, and finished with a tag that reads “With care from the DU community.”
Volunteer Responsibilities:
-
Welcome Zoo Lights guests and explain the service project
-
Assist participants as they assemble pantry staples into a box
-
Guide families in decorating with DU stickers, stencils, and markers
-
Help tie ribbons and attach “With care” tags
-
Ensure completed kits are stacked at the drop-off station
-
Support a smooth, fun, and engaging guest experience
Impact:
Your efforts will help create 75 baking supply kits that directly support DU Food Pantry patrons. This project highlights DU pride, spreads holiday warmth, and ensures students and community members have access to essential ingredients during the winter season.
