Upcoming Mega-Food Packing for Refugees will take place at St. Michael’s Recreation center on Sunday, Sept 25 from 1-4 pm.
In April, we had more than 400 volunteers from faith communities and friends all over the area who came to make a difference in the lives of refugees. To the say the least, the day was a blessing.
Volunteers who would like to help pack the grains can register for one of the 45 minute time slots available by logging onto:
