Mission: Food Insecurity
Minnie’s Food Pantry
How does Grace PC help with this problem? By donating our time and other resources in helping agencies such as Minnie’s Food Pantry located in Plano. Many Grace members have volunteered to load boxes of food into vehicles, pack boxes, unfold and tape boxes, sort cans of food, and help in the boutique. Whatever the staff at Minnie’s needs us to do we do it. Our next date to help at Minnie’s is September 7th.
In October, mission committee will host a food packing event with The Outreach Program, formally known as Numana. We currently have a plan to pack 18,900 meals to send to Haiti. Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton co-founded The Outreach Program. It does more than food, according to their website, they are involved in medical care, clean water, and education. Kathy and Floyd have received awards from President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush. Check out their website to learn about what the awards were for and what else this busy organization is doing. outreachprogram.org
Grace’s own Little Food Pantry (LFP) helps our neighbors closer to home who are food insecure. Thank you all for bringing food to restock the LFP.
