On Friday, August 26th, twenty members of our church attended “Feed the Need”
in Knoxville. For two hours we packaged a dehydrated casserole dish that was
designed by food scientists to benefit a child who is suffering from malnutrition.
Each bag contained white long grain rice, vitamin fortified crushed soy, a
dehydrated blend of six vegetables, and chicken flavored vegetarian vitamin –
mineral powder. Although each bag only cost $.23 to fill, it was enough for 6 meals
for 1 child. In our 2 hour shift, we bagged around 30,000 meals. Ten percent of
that will remain in East Tennessee while the remainder will be sent to hungry
children both here in the United States and worldwide. To be able to participate in
such a great ministry left us all feeling humbled and blessed. Truly, as one of the
group said, “It was the best two hours I ever spent!”
