On behalf of the Social Ministry Team, I would like to congratulate the people of St. Michael for the amazing results of our meal packing event for Rise Against Hunger.  On September 21, we packed over 15,000 meals which will go directly to feed those in need in food depleted areas of the world.  Those who assisted with meal packing enjoyed the experience and camaraderie of working together as a team to pack all the meals in about 2 hours. In addition to our St. Michael volunteers, we were helped by members of Community of Love and Church of the Advent.  We also learned that we have packed over 100,000 meals since beginning our work with Rise Against Hunger 8 years ago.  This success has inspired us to consider another meal packing event next year.
