Million Meals

 We had the joy of serving together as a family, with our larger church family, Saturday morning as we packaged meals for the hungry overseas.

Through an event called Million Meals, our church partners with an organization called Children of the Nations to pack and distribute meals in Africa. All together, we as a group packed over 175,000 meals (for a total of several million, over the years).

Cora helped scoop the dehydrated veggies, which went into bags with rice, soy protein and a spice and vitamin packet.

On opposite sides of the long tables, Stace and I both helped seal the plastic bags.

The whole event is a lot of fun, and it's great knowing we are providing tangible help to those most in need.

 The younger helpers were inside, decorating boxes to bring smiles overseas when the shipments are opened up. Here's one of the adorable boxes Violet decorated.

We capped our morning off by sponsoring a little girl in Uganda whose birthday is a few days different than Cora's. Both girls are so excited to write her letters and get her little gifts, and we expect to get regular updates from her.
