The Manna Food Project spon-sored a “Meals of Hope” benefit event9-11 a.m., Saturday, July 30, at theManna Food Project, 8791 McBridePark Court, Harbor Springs. A totalof 130 volunteers participated (abouthalf from Bay View).

The “packers” put together 47,000meals (five meals per package). Theevent honored the lives of two local-area volunteers, Bob Brummeler andJohn Myers, both of whom passedaway this year.

“Meals of Hope” centered entirelyon helping people in our local areawho are hungry and in need of assis-tance. The packaged food will be dis-tributed to 36 food banks in a three-county area.

Manna Food Project DirectorKathy Hart said, “This food makessuch a difference in people’s lives.Sixty percent of the children in thisarea depend on the food assistancethey get through grants at theirschool. In the summer when schoolisn’t in session, they don’t have accessto this resource.”

Separate teams of volunteers

worked quickly and efficiently underthe direction of Steve Popper, usingthe Kids Against Hunger model. Asthe founder of this movement to pro-vide nutrition to children in the areawhere the packing occurs, Steve hasbeen responsible for the packing of 12million meals. He came north fromhis home in Naples, Fla., to provideleadership.

Some children working with theirparents, or grandparents, acknowl-edged that they didn’t like getting upso early, but would do it again. Therewas plenty of energy and competitivespirit as teams decided to shout outthe number of boxes they had filled soother teams could hear.

Building on positive response fromthe volunteers, Kathy Hart and herstaff indicated that they will organizeanother such event in the fall. Foodpacked on this Saturday should onlylast about a month.

Of the $12,500 total food cost forthe program, $3,000 is still needed. Tomake a donation, contact The MannaFood Project at 231-347-8852 ormanna@mannafood project.org. Youcan also contact Karen Weaver at 348-5217 for more details.
