God bless you for your part
To the Editor:
What a wonderful community we live in. On Saturday, Feb. 21, more than 350 people came together for the 7th annual Kids Against Hunger Food Pack, and became “Hunger Heroes.”
The Fairmont Armory was a busy place with 35 teams working from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. These wonderful people of all ages packed 100,998 meals of nutritional food for people in need.
The Fairmont area food shelves have received 46 cases, or 9,936 meals, to help the hungry in our own community. The rest of the packed food is on its way to Mission Haiti.
Our committee wants to extend a huge THANK YOU to the sponsors, businesses, churches and individuals who made donations of more than $27,000 to make this pack successful.
Thank you to the teams who gave their time to pack the meals and the volunteers who helped in the background.
May God bless you all for your part in this amazing event.
