| It's great to immediately see the impact you have after a shift |
In November we participated in our final Feed My Starving Children food packing event for the year. During this 90 minute shift, we packed over 3200 meals - enough to feed nearly 9 kids for a year - and we presented a donation from our Council to FMSC with a check for $104. With this great food packing effort, we exceeded the year's goal I had set for the program by surpassing the 100 boxes-packed mark! For the year, our Council packed a total of 101 boxes of food, which provides nearly 22,000 meals - enough to feed for a year 60 starving kids throughout the world! This is truly life changing and saving work that touches so many people whose families do not have the means or resources to provide food for their kids by themselves. A huge thank you to all of the Knights, family and friends who contributed to the 112 service hours throughout the year for FMSC. This program is a great reminder for all of us of just how much we have to be thankful for, and it is a great way to work as God's hands, feeding his children.
I have begun scheduling our quarterly packing events for next year and our next packing event is targeted for March. Watch the newsletter and your email for more specific details as the date gets closer.
