If you have ever packaged meals for Rise Against Hunger, you know what a fun and rewarding event this is. Mark your calendar for Sunday, April 14. There will be a light lunch for the workers in Fellowship Hall at 11:15 AM and we will begin packaging 10,000 meals at 11:45 AM. This is an intergenerational event that needs 40-60 volunteers. We need people with muscles to lift 50 lbs., young legs that can walk/run to the weigh stations and people comfortable in sitting to weigh and seal the bags. Please sign-up at the Welcome Desk. Why do we pack the meals? Wherever there are people facing hunger, Rise Against Hunger is there.
