The Greensboro Interfaith Learning and Dialogue Partnership is planning a Stop Hunger NOW meal packaging event on Sunday, March 7 at Beth David Synagogue. The partnership is committing to packaging 20,000 meals to be sent around the world to people suffering from severe hunger.
Each meal is 25 cents and the group has pledged $2,500 towards the first 10,000 meals. An appeal will go to the members’ congregations, organizations, and schools to contribute to Quarters for Compassion to raise money for the additional meals. Volunteers will be recruited to help package the meals, and Stop Hunger NOW will deliver them to the world's most impoverished people.
To register:
The Greensboro Interfaith Learning and Dialogue Partnership was formed in 2007 when the Greensboro Jewish Federation and St. Francis Episcopal Church partnered to bring the authors of the book, The Faith Club, to Greensboro. Over 900 people attended two events featuring the authors, and the partners realized the desire for continued learning. A series took place over the winter and spring months of 2008-2009 which included facilitated discussion and personal reflection with six different faiths in their houses of worship. The group now has representation from the Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Quaker, Episcopal, and Jewish faiths as well as the Piedmont Interfaith Council.
