URGET REMINDER! WHAT? Packing food bags for youngsters in need. WHEN? Weekly on Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p.m. for 30-45 minutes. WHERE? The kitchen in the parish hall. WHY? Because there is hunger in western North Carolina — right here in our own neighborhood, in fact. Some of the hungriest children identified at neighboring Jones Elementary School take home bags of food packed on Thursdays by parishioners at Grace. In just the half hour or so it takes to pack those bags, the Grace Backpackers, in partnership with MANNA Food Bank, make it a little less likely that a child will go hungry over the weekend. As a new year begins, we desperately need additional packers. Could you help?
