Students and adults gathered at First Presbyterian Church to assemble meal packages for Stop Hunger Now.
Members from First Presbyterian Church, Southminster Presbyterian Church and Southminster Day School gathered at First Presbyterian Church on March 12 to pack meals for Stop Hunger Now.
In just two hours, more than 100 volunteers packed more than 25,000 meals for those in need. Stop Hunger Now is a national organization dedicated to eradicating and educating volunteers about world hunger. The meal-packing event was the culmination of a six-month-long fundraising campaign.
The meals, which consist of dried protein, dried vegetables, vitamin packets and rice, will be shipped to needy families both in the United States and all over the world. For more information about Stop Hunger Now, visit stophungernow.org.
