SENIORS ROCK!
On April 22nd, the one-year anniversary of Kids
Against Hunger-Verde Valley's official open house, a mini packing event was
held with the Senior's Group from Verde Valley Christian Church. It was also the first official packing event
in our own building! With approximately 35
participants and 5 volunteer helpers, 22 boxes (equaling 792 bags of food,
which equals 4,752 meals) were packed in an hour! The group also donated $70 to purchase
t-shirts. With that donation and the
meals packaged, we will have over 5,000 to provide meals for the hungry. It
really helped our organization use up unused bulk product before it
sits through the summer (besides the blessing of having packaged meals, which
will all go for local distribution). Fun was
had by all; and we look forward to hosting packing events with them on a
periodic basis -- by their request. A
great group proving seniors ROCK!
