What is a Meal Packaging Event?
It is an immensely fun, hands-on and rewarding experience for anyone of any age. A group of 150 volunteers (ages 3 to 103) can package 30,000 meals in just three hours. That means we need to raise 40 cents for each meal! ($12,000) You can help 3 ways: Pray, Donate Money, Volunteer your time on the 13th! The event is held at the Martin H Glynn Building. Helpers needed early for set up at 10:30, 12-3:30 to pack meals & then more to stay after for clean-up!

Rise Against Hunger's meal packaging program is a volunteer-based initiative that coordinates the assembly-line packaging of highly nutritious dehydrated meals composed of rice, soy, vegetables and 23 essential vitamins and minerals. Since the inception of the meal packaging program in December 2005, these packaged meals have been used primarily to support school feeding programs in developing countries.
Hunger doesn't have to exist...let's end it together.
PS - wear a hat or we'll provide a hair net for you! And yes, there are jobs that can be done while seated!

KRC Awarded National Grant
KINDERHOOK REFORMED CHURCH RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION/GRANT AWARD
Kinderhook Reformed Church is the recipient of a $100,000 matching grant for restoration of our building, officials announced Monday. The award from the National Fund for Sacred Places is a program managed by the Philadelphia-based Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Our congregation is one of 24 houses of worship nationwide to receive a share of the $4 million in award money in 2024.
This funding will launch a variety of capital improvement projects within our 150+ year old church building, including restoration of the iconic stained-glass windows and an ADA accessible entryway. In order to collect the full award of $100,000, the Church will need to be successful in its own fundraising efforts to match the grant dollar-for-dollar. To donate, CLICK HERE & select Building Grant Fund from the drop-down menu.
