Kids Against Hunger
Are You HUNGRY to Make a DIFFERENCE?  You can, one quarter at a time!  Children’s Ministry is excited to announce that Grace Church will be hosting their second Kids Against Hunger event in March of 2012!  Last year our efforts raised enough money to pack 58,000 meals!  That same food is now being used to feed children under the care of UM Missionary Tom Heaton in Guatemala!    $7,000 dollars  will send 30,000 meals in support of Tom and the feeding program at Nueva Esperanza! The more we raise the more meals we can send.   But wait, it gets better!  Our efforts will be combined with the six other United Methodist churches that make our Johnson County Cluster Group.  Together we hope to pack over 80,000 meals  and ALL the food will be distributed between local food pantries and Tom’s efforts in Guatemala!   WE CAN DO THIS!! It only takes one quarter at at time!  It all begins with YOU! 

We are closing in our our March 24th packing date and I wish to thank you in advance for your support and excitement of this amazing project.  To date, we have collecgted $6,548 toward our goal of $10,000.   Remember, the more we collect the more food we can pack, the more children we can help!  Please keep the quarters coming and if you haven't picked up you M&M tube yet, stop by the Children and Youth Welcome table and get one today!  One tube full of quarters provide 80 meals!

Grace will be hosting a night out to support KAH.  No flyer needed, just simply come out and dine!  Tell friends, family, and neighbors about it, so we can make our goal and package more meals.  Drive thru/carryout out and dine in will all count towards KAH.
