New Horizon Church Feeds 400 Families in Need
DURHAM COUNTY, N.C.Durham, N.C.—On February 28, at 9 a.m., 400 families in need will come to New Horizon Church to receive food. They will be met by an assembly line of folks waiting to fill their car with non-perishables, some produce, personal care items, and a stuffed animal or book for the kids. The international hunger relief organization Feed The Children is partnering with the church for this event.
"There are so many families in need right now," said Leah Rade, New Horizon Church Community Pastor. "What a blessing to be able to partner with Feed the Children to provide all these families with such essential items."
Larry Jones, founder and president of Feed The Children, commented that "we are very appreciative of what New Horizon Church is doing. Because of their dedication and hard work, families in Durham and Orange County will not have to send their children to bed hungry tonight."
The organizations have pre-identified the families to receive items. The provisions are designed to help supplement a family for up to one week. Special thanks to local businesses who contributed items to this event: Flower Patch, Occoneechee Steakhouse, and Trader Joe's.
