Come Help Us Pack 30,000 Meals March 22 – Upper Parking Lot
You read that right, we are doing it again! Last year we packed 45,000 meals however, the Missions Committee would like to sponsor the food packing event annually and can afford to do that if we pack 30,000 meals. (Each meal costs 30 cents). For those of you who have done it before, you know it’s FUN, it’s FAST, and it’s great COMMUNITY. Baja Presbyterian Missions will be taking all 139 boxes of meals to Presbyterian Churches in Baja to distribute to families dealing with food insecurity and refugees living in border shelters. Please join us by signing up for one of the following assignments on this link: https://rbcommunity.org/ event-Food-Packing-Event.
