Lynnville Friends Church to host Jasper County Kids Against Hunger packaging event Nov. 4

The Jasper County Kids Against Hunger program will have its next food packing event on Nov. 7. The event will again be spent packaging food to be sent to feed families in parts of the world where there is a shortage of food.

In the past years, the Jasper County KAH has packaged 416,310 meals. The food was sent to countries such as Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras and also here in Iowa. The host for the November packaging will be the Lynnville Friends Church in Lynnville.

Gather a team of 12 people and collect $360 in donations. Then come to help package the food to feed the hungry people. All are welcome, such as churches, service clubs, businesses, Scout troops, students and individuals who are willing to help with the packaging.

Deadline for registering of a team or a single individual who is willing to work with others is Oct. 31. Contact Bill Bennett at jasper.co.kah@gmail.com to register or to receive more information about the event.
