On March 16, 2024 Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church hosted their fourth annual meal packaging event. Over 100 people joined our team to pack 50,000 meals of Pasta in a Basil Marinara sauce 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 marinara packages, while carefully weighing, heat-sealing and packing into boxes. When the boxing was complete, the volunteers joined in a throaty cheer to celebrate the 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.
