Volunteer to help package meals, set up tables, or donate on behalf of those who would like to volunteer their time to package meals. Sign up this Sunday at the table in the foyer!
Kids Against Hunger is a food relief organization that unifies teams of people who package a specialized rice based soy casserole mixture which is used locally and overseas.
