We did it!
We did it! Rise Against Hunger, May 4, 2025
10,000 meals and an abundance of enthusiasm!
Fifty-one pairs of hands did God's work on Sunday packaging 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger. Children brought their grandparents; and grandparents brought their grandchildren. Some joined for the first time and other "experts" took their favorite stations for the third year in a row. A hearty crew helped set up, arriving at eight in the morning and more generous souls stayed to clean the parish hall and load the truck. Thank you to all and to the many generous donors!
Ken's quote from St. Francis says it all: "Preach the Gospel always. When necessary, use words." No words were needed on Sunday.

It's almost here!!!
Get ready for May 4th!
Our 2025 Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event is Sunday, May 4 12:00-2:00. Once again we will package 10,000 meals to send to a part of the world where food is scarce. This year, with the dismantling of USAID, it is more important than ever! Check out this video of last year’s good work.
We will need 65-75 volunteers to set up, fill the bags, and clean up; and $4100 to fund the ingredients and the shipping costs.
Sign up to volunteer here. Send donations to our RAH webpage or to the donation page on the church’s website. (Click “Add Gift to another fund.”) Or, you can write a check to Church of the Good Shepherd with RAH in the memo line. Funds are needed by May 4th.
It feeds our souls and it’s FUN!
