Rise Against Hunger | February 15th
The Mission Committee is getting
ready for RISE AGAINST HUNGER on Saturday, February 15 from 9:00-12:00 in
the Fellowship Hall. We packaged 15,448 meals
last year. Hopefully, we can package over that amount this year with your help!
This is a
family oriented mission that the entire family can attend. We also realize that
not everyone is able to participate. If you cannot participate or attend, please
consider making a donation to the mission committee’s Rise Against Hunger
event.
More than 40
percent of Rise Against Hunger’s
meals are distributed to school feeding programs around the world. Those meals
encourage school attendance and help put children and their families on a path
to get out of poverty. For most children, this is the only meal they get for
the day.
There will
be a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center where you can sign-up to work in 1
hour increments. We will need some heavy
lifters at the beginning and end of this mission.
All safety
measures will be in place. Everyone is
required to sign-in, wear a shower hat and gloves which will be distributed at
the beginning of the event.
Stay tuned for more information.
