The Million Meal Challenge: In partnership with Samaritans International and the “Feed My Starving Children” organization, the congregations of Charlotte, NC area churches supported by local businesses and civic organizations have taken the challenge to provide meals for 1,000,000 starving children! The “Million Meal Mission” functions as a food packing mission focusing not only the starving but also on breaking down barriers, saving lives, and building on God’s call for stewardship.
Harrison UMC is hosting the Million Meal Challenge in Hammill Hall on June 16th-19th. I have signed us (HUMYF) up as a group for the Million Meal Challenge on Saturday, June 19th from 2:00-4:00pm. We need 25 youth and/or adult leaders to be in Hammill Hall to pack meals.
If you can’t be there on this date, you can go to the Million Meal Challenge site and register for another time.
Registration Instructions: Once your on the site, you will need to type “Harrison” in the search box. After you hit the enter key you will see all the Harrison UMC time slots. Some are already full, but there are several time slots left to sign up for. You will have to register so that you can book your time. Look for the username and password section at the top of the page, then click the last icon on the right (The little guy with the green spot), when you put your mouse over it, it will show that it’s the registration button. Click and set up your account. Your registration won’t be complete until you check your e-mail. In the e-mail there will be a link that will activate your account. Click it and go back to the above link, log-in, and type in Harrison again in the search box, and book your time.
I wished it were easier than that but it is what it is. I want to encourage all of our youth and parents to participate in this event. It’s a great service opportunity for everyone. It would be a great family activity!
You can book a time for yourself or for a group of people. Just make sure that whatever number you book, show up. Each time slot requires a specific number of volunteers to achieve the goal of providing the Million Meals needed, so please be responsible.
