The church says they were able to accomplish this thanks to a gift given in memory of longtime member Chris Kishbaugh.

"They are going to take package rice and soy flour and package it up to be sent, probably Africa, but somewhere overseas where people are very hungry," Pastor John Leek told 28/22 News.

The church held events like this all throughout the summer.
