Feed My Starving Children: La Croix Church celebrates 10 years of meal prep

This year marks the tenth year La Croix Church has hosted meal packing events for Feed My Starving Children, a program which distributes meals to impoverished communities around the world. Event co-director Linda Watts said the volunteers performed work that is in the spirit of the Gospels - a work of ministry that will serve the less fortunate.
