Holy Trinity Lutheran Church has a team that packs food for the program 'End 68 Hours of Hunger' for the city of Portsmouth!! This program is designed to provide food for children in need that would sustain them for the weekend when school is not in session. Kathy McKenna and Lauren Gianino are the Team Coordinators for our church.
Our team is responsible for packing food bags for children on 6 more Thursdays this school year. We pack at the First United Methodist Church, 129 Miller Ave. Portsmouth and we meet at 6pm. Depending on the number of volunteers, the packing process takes between 40 minutes to an hour - but rarely a full hour.
Our next packing date is this Thursday, January 2nd. The dates our team is responsible for are:
- Thursday, January 2nd
- Thursday, February 6th
- Thursday, March 19th
- Thursday, April 23rd
- Thursday, June 11th
Last year our group packed 663 bags of food! If you are interested in joining our team please email myself (mckenna.kathy.62@gmail.com) or Lauren Gianino(pglg813@comcast.net). If you know of someone who would like to join our team....please have them contact us!! This is such an unique volunteer opportunity as you can make a huge impact on our local community in under an hour!! We always welcome new participants!!
