Recognizing September as Hunger Action Month, The Mercy Matters Committee of The Cathedral Parish of St. Patrick has organized a volunteer night to help at The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank on Wednesday, September 11, 2019, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. They will be packing boxes of healthy food that will be distributed to people in need within the community. This can also be a great family volunteer event or opportunity for teens to earn community service credits.

 

Additionally, volunteers will learn about the prevalence of hunger - in Pennsylvania nearly 1 in 8 is in danger of going hungry. They will also learn about the operation of the Food Bank and its cooperatives and how they are able to economically provide thousands of meals here in the mid-state area. They can turn a mere $10 donation into 60 meals!
