On Saturday, October 21, 2023 at 9am, Grace UMC (Skinker & Waterman) will host a community-wide food packing event to pack 2,400 meal kits (14,400 meals) for Midwest Mission to distribute to international destinations.
In previous years, meal kits have been distributed through “Food for the Poor”- which distributes food in 17 different Latin and Caribbean countries. Children who are in first grade or older may participate in the food packing (although those younger than 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
When signing up, please provide the ages of all participants under 13 and the names of any family members or other individuals you would like to work with so that we can place related participants on the same team (although there may be others on that team also – since each team consists of 10 participants). Childcare for children not yet in first grade will also be provided (if needed), so parents who would like to participate and bring children who are not yet in first grade are asked to also note their names and ages when they sign up so that we can plan childcare.
To add your name to the list of participants, please complete the form at https://bit.ly/GUMCFood, call the church office at 314-863-1992, or email Amy at secretary@graceumc-stl.org by October 12th. Note: If your plans change after you register, please let us know.
We assign participants to teams and determine the equipment needed based on the number of participants.
The event runs less smoothly when we have “no-shows” at the last minute.
