RISE AGAINST HUNGER

A great big thank you to Kathleen Martin, Mark Rackers, and the Rise Against Hunger team for another wonderful RAH event. We packed over 15,000 meals in just over an hour - partly motivated by Dave Buck's play list :) What a fun way to minister together! 

Thanks also to all of the volunteers who came to help. This year we also welcomed volunteers from St. Mark's and Church of the Advent. This mission is catching on!

We hope to continue this RAH event each year so if you'd like to help plan for next year, please contact Mark Rackers.
