Kids Fighting Hunger is reaching out to us at Joy for donations and any interested volunteers to help at their food packaging event “to help provide food to families in Central Minnesota and to global partners around the world.” They will be packaging oatmeal and rice products for Central MN food shelves and global partners.

It will take place at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud on November 14th, 2021.

There are three different time slots available to volunteer that Sunday:

Currently, there are over 100 volunteer positions still available!

Donations are also needed to pay for ingredients, and the recommended donation is $20 per adult, $15 per student, and $10 per child. So even if you cannot physically make it, you can still make a difference financially! Their goal is $30,000.

To donate, make checks payable to: Kids Fighting Hunger, PO Box 7550, St. Cloud, MN 56302 (Memo: We Are Thankful)
