Bread for the World - Have Faith. End Hunger
Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. We support them by taking action this month to make a difference in our community.
The KFFC Peace and Social Concerns Committee is organizing food drives in the next few months to benefit the local food bank. During April pasta and sauce will be collected. In March we collected about 300 pounds of Beans and Rice. The goal is to collect at least 100 poundsThe goal is to collect 100 pounds of these foods to be donated by Friends.
Please take part in this worthy cause and help feed others in need.
