From ages 5-95 and everywhere in between, there were 150 community volunteers who gathered at the Fountain Hills Community Center for the 11th Annual Fountain Hills Community Food Pack – Food for Kidz.

The New Journey Food for Kidz Team, thanks you for participating. You were the hands and feet of Jesus, giving of your time and talents. You helped make the food pack a success.

In these 11 years, 1915 community volunteers have packed a total of 704,200 meals during this event.

To our New Journey Lutheran community, “Great job!” Together, we have made steps toward alleviating hunger in our community and around the world. Your contribution helped us pack 64,000 meals for our hungry neighbors—thank you!
