Area churches pack food for Stop Hunger Now

Church members and volunteers at Canterbury United Methodist Church packaged food for Stop Hunger Now Feb. 8-10.

The organization focuses on providing hunger relief to school children in lesser developed countries. Several churches have joined together throughout the year to provide packaged meals for the organization.

The program combines rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix including 21 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packets. Each meal costs only 25 cents, has a shelf-life of five years and transports quickly.
