On March 19, 2022 Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church hosted their second annual meal packaging event. Over 200 people came out that day to pack 50,000 meals of Macaroni and Cheese fortified with soy protein.
From the very young to very old, regardless of size, infirmity, or condition, these volunteers put on aprons, hairnets, and gloves, and joined hearts and hands in producing nutritious, flavorful meals specifically designed to nurture bodies and lift spirits.
While food safety and quality were emphasized during the hands-on-training, the experience is designed to be spirited, enriching, fun, and is for many, transformative. Volunteers formed into production lines, assembling meals from bins of pasta and soy, adding cheese packages, and carefully weighing, heat-sealing and then packing into boxes. And when the boxing was complete, joining in a throaty cheer to celebrate their gift of life to those in need.
These meals were donated to PROJECT HOPE where they will be distributed to the West Garfield Park Community.
Thank you for being a major part in helping to end hunger.
