Rise Against Hunger

On Sunday afternoon, we hosted another Rise Against Hunger event in the St. Paul’s parish hall. Here’s some information from the event:

We packed 10,000 bags of food, which works out to 40,000 servings. Wow!
The food we packed will go to help out folks in crisis worldwide.
Rise Against Hunger in sending lots of food to Ukraine and Haiti right now.
We had around 117 volunteers help.
Our youngest volunteer was just 6 years old.
Our oldest volunteer was 91.
We began at 2:30 p.m. and finished up by 3:30 p.m.

Watch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (For a Birthday, BCP p. 830)
