Greenwood volunteers help ‘Pack Away Hunger’ 2. By Angela Norris More than 1,800 volunteers packaged 400,000 meals to send to Cuba last Sat- urday as part of Mount Pleasant Chris- tian Church’s fifth annual Go Change the World week. The event is made possible through a partnership with Pack Away Hunger, a Beech Grove-based organization that or- ganizes meal packaging to help reduce hunger and malnutrition locally and around the world. During three separate sessions, the vol- unteers were trained in Mount Pleasant’s worship center, then sent next door to the Community Life Center, where stations 1. 3. for packaging were set up. "Our first session starts at 8:30 a.m. and we are basically busy all day," said Johnette Cruz, communications director for Mount Pleasant Christian Church. "The volunteers package and seal the Nutri-Plenty Meals, including rice, soy, dried vegetables, and other nutrients into 36 bags,” Heidi Wright, service coordina- tor for Mount Pleasant Christian Church, said. "After that, the Nutri-Plenty Meals are packaged into boxes, which will to- 4. 5. 6. tal more than 65,000 pounds of food. The meals will then be sent overseas to our ministry partner in Cuba." Volunteers ranged in ages from 4 through 70. Every time a box was filled, the volunteer rang a bell. One of Mount Pleasant’s core four strategies is serving others, and they delivered well. For more information about Mount Pleasant Chris- tian Church, please visit their website at mpcc.info.
