On September 30 and October 1, churches throughout the Albemarle District (Union, Stanley and Anson counties) will be participating in a meal packing event to help Kids Against Hunger.
Kids Against Hunger packages highly nutritious, life-saving meals for starving children and malnourished children and their families in developing countries and the United States. The goal of the organization is for its meals to provide a stable nutritional base from which recipient families can move their families from starvation to self-sufficiency. Kids Against Hunger accomplishes this by mobilizing the energy and caring of American children, teens, and adults on behalf of hungry children around the world. Kids Against Hunger seeks to end the literal hunger of children receiving the meals, but also satisfies a hunger among prosperous Americans – a hunger for meaning and contribution.
A meal is 15 cents. Can you imagine? We have challenged the families in our congregation to donate $15 towards this ministry. Just think, $15 will get you one meal at Outback, 2 meals at Wendy’s or 3 meals at Bojangles $15 in this ministry provide 100 needed meals. It’s a good and solid investment. If you’d like more information about this ministry, come visit us, or check out their website at http://kidsagainsthunger.org/.
Every day we have the opportunity to impact our world and bring about the kingdom. Matthew 25 reminds us that as we serve the least of our brothers and sisters we serve our risen Lord. Come partner with us in this and all of our ministries.
