Emmetsburg, IA (KICD) -- A very helpful event is going on this weekend in Emmetsburg.
The Palo Alto County Fairgrounds is the location for the first ever Palo Alto County Packing Event, scheduled this Saturday. Pastor Trudy Peterson is with Bethany Lutheran Church in Emmetsburg. She tells what the event is...
The event is expected to take several volunteers to help out, and 5th graders on up are encouraged to come help out. Peterson explains what has to be packed in each meal...
There will be three shifts for volunteers to help on, 8:30am to 10-am, 10-am to 11:30-am, and 11:30-am to 1-pm. Peterson says the goal is set at 100,000 packages to be stuffed, and says a $30 donation per person per shift pays for the meals that willo be packed.
Anyone wanting to make a cash donation to the effort can make checks out to Then Feed Just One/UMC, and can drop them off at the event Saturday.
