What is the Cone Zone?
A cone zone party is a way to serve together with your friends, family, school groups and coworkers. Whether you are 3 years old or 90+ years old, there is something you can do. Each meal you package will help the 1 in 5 children that struggle with food insecurity. Are you unsure of what being food insecure means? Don’t worry we will have an educational time where you can learn about this and other facts about hunger and poverty!
Step One: The Funnel
First, the funnel captain, working in tandem with four others, will add a cheese pouch, soy, a vitamin packet, veggies, and rice to a meal bag.
Step Two: Runners
After five to six meals are bagged, the funnel team calls for runners who quickly transfer meals to the next station
Step Three: Weigh & Seal
The meals are then brought to the weigh and seal station where the proper bag weight of ~ 423 – 433 grams is verified. Afterwards, the bag is sealed using our heat sealers.
Step Four: Boxing
The meals are then counted, labeled, and packed away for shipping at the boxing station using our counting boards. There are 36 bags per box of 216 meals.
Step Five : Have Fun!
Most importantly of all, have a good time! Sing along with the music, bust a move, and bring your energy. It’s a party and we’re ending food insecurity one meal at a time!
