Meager Meal: Food Drive to Benefit MUM

Please join us this Saturday for the Churches of the Good Shepherd and Rosa de Saron's annual Meager Meal. Those who attend are asked to bring either a monetary and/or food donation and will dine on a simple meal of rice and beans, which represents the main diet of what many people have to live on every day. 

The donations collected will be given to Mid County United Ministries who provide assistance with prescription drugs, eviction prevention, and prevention of utility cutoffs to individuals in need.  They also have a food pantry which provides shelf stable foods to individuals in the Wheaton/Silver Spring and Kensington areas.  Please join us for an enjoyable time together and a chance to meet Reverend Larry White, the Director of MUM who has been with MUM for 2 years.  

Neighborhood families are invited to come and learn about world hunger. There will be several special kid activities designed to teach them about caring for those who are less fortunate.
