On Saturday, April 20th, Brother Knights from the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo Dioceses joined together for a Cross Catholic Outreach Food Packing event. A special thank you to the Brother Knights of Bishop Fulton Sheen Council #7487 and Grand Knight Paul Kwiatkowski for hosting this exceptional event at Holy Redeemer parish gymnasium in Jenison!
We were thrilled to see a remarkable turnout of volunteers who came together to pack an impressive 60,490 meals in just TWO HOURS and TEN MINUTES, setting a new record! Of these meals, 5,842 packages will be distributed within the local communities, while the remaining 54,648 meals will be sent by Cross Catholic Outreach to a country in dire need of this life-saving food.
The day was truly extraordinary, filled with compassion, teamwork, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and dedicated their time and energy to this noble cause.
Together, we are changing lives for the better!
We pray for blessings upon the hands of our volunteers and donors, that the nourishing food they have packed may provide sustenance to those most in need, both physically and spiritually. As we look ahead to future food packing events across Michigan, may we continue to spread love and kindness in Jesus' name, one meal at a time.
VIVAT JESUS!
