While watching the local news this morning and getting ready for work, my husband and I saw a story about Must Ministries and the awesome services they provide to the local communities – Cobb, Cherokee, Douglas, Gwinnett, North Fulton and Paulding counties.
Thousands of children who normally eat free and reduced cost school lunches are home during the summer with little or no food. This critical situation is overcome in part with the effective MUST Summer Lunch Program. Every weekday for 10 weeks, sack lunches are packed and hand delivered to targeted locations suggested by school counselors throughout the area. Six counties are in the Summer Lunch network where staff, volunteers and donors bring daily meals to grateful children. During the summer of 2011, nearly 142,000 sack lunches were served to hungry children in Cobb, Cherokee, Douglas, Gwinnett, North Fulton, and Paulding Counties.
In addition to the monetary donation that PeetiePie made on 6/6/12, we are happy that we will also be able to volunteer at the Food Pantry soon and volunteer our time that way as well. The company my husband and I work for, CA Technologies, provides a service to its employees to locate volunteer opportunities in their communities. We were able to sign up for this wonderful opportunity as a result of that service. 🙂
