Thank you to the 300 plus volunteers that came out to package 58,104 meals. It was so great to see so many people and so many youth having fun volunteering. We thank Lori Stillwell from Kids Coalition Against Hunger, Barry Baldwin and John C. Romine for putting hours and hours into this event. We also would like to thank Patrick Patterson , Heidi Gordon-Lilly and Heather Roelant for an awesome committee. Our surprise guests today from 3 CKI Alumni Kristy Godley , John Deutschman and Ben Strandskov. Always a shout out to Kelley Parise for eagerly tagging along and throwing 50lb bags like a champ. Rick & Diane Collins, Kim Baldwin, Cindy Baldwin & Trish Defrain for working check in and aligning volunteers in to groups.
Also a special shout out to BWROC (Blue Water Recovery & Outreach Center) & Coastguard Reserves volunteers that came Friday night to help setup and volunteer on Saturday morning!
We can’t forget to thank our host for this event, Colonial Woods Missionary Church! The staff and church have been spectacular with support and opening up their facility. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
Many hands make lite work!
