JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Jamestown continues to come together to help those in need.
The Jamestown Akiton Club raised $800 for Kiwanis Against Hunger. All money being raised for the event will help package meals for hungry families in North Dakota and Moorhead, Minn. Each meal costs 25 cents and includes rice, soy, dried vegetables and flavoring
“Aktion Club, a service leadership partner with Kiwanis, is one of the only clubs for developmentally disabled individuals,” Kiwanis member Katie Ryan-Anderson reports.
“The Jamestown Aktion Club held a Quarter Drive in support of Kiwanis Against Hunger because each quarter pays for one meal.”
To pack the meals, Kiwanis is counting on 250 volunteers. Volunteers between ages 8 and 108 are welcome to scoop, pour, weigh and assemble meals at Stutsman Harley-Davidson. More than 64,000 meals will be packaged during the event.
Kiwanis Against Hunger is set for 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Oct. 26. Volunteers still needed. Learn more or register to volunteer at www.facebook.com/JamestownKiwa
