We had great success yesterday and lots of fun with one of our Club's major projects - Kids Against Hunger. Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who came out and brought family members with you! We had kids, spouses, friends, grandkids, and ASTRA represented. I'm so proud to share with you all the total meals prepared yesterday surpassed 13,000!!! Way to go! As was announced during the event, more than 9,000 of those meals will go to the Hunger House Ministry in Juarez, Mexico with the remainder being retained here in Bell County to be used for other needs as they come up. What a huge impact you all had in just a few hours to assist in an area of great need. Scroll down below to see a few photos from the event this weekend.
