The 50 or so members of Kiwanis are working toward their $20,000 Kids Against Hunger goal. Kids Against Hunger is a meal-packaging event in which 300 volunteers pack meals for hungry families. The meals are distributed throughout North Dakota and Minnesota through the Great Plains Food Bank. This year’s event is set for Saturday, Nov. 4.

 

Jamestown Kiwanis Club, President, Sarah Griego, says,  “Members of the Kiwanis Club of Jamestown volunteer at this event every year in our effort to help children thrive, prosper and grow.  We know kids need Kiwanis, in our community and in communities around the world.”

 

Last year, about 60 Kiwanians and community members attended the Kids Against Hunger Dinner & Live Auction. They raised about $4,000 or enough to package about 16,000 meals.

 

Kids Against Hunger event is Saturday, Nov. 3 at Stutsman Harley Davidson, 9 a.m. to noon.
