Global Aid Food Packaging, Sat. October 13

GAIN - Global Aid Network, in Mt. Joy, PA.   This was a wonderful experience for all who participated last year, bagging the beans and rice meals that were shipped to the straving people in the Horn of Africa.  This is a free event and a wonderful mission opportunity for the entire family to participate in. 

Special forms were sent home with each youth provided by GAIN and every participant, including adults, must have one to participate.  There will be extra forms available before departure, or call the Forks church office (610-942-2626) to one sent or Emailed to you. 

Please have all forms back to the church by Tuesday, Oct. 2... if you cannot attend youth group that evening, you must call/text or Email Mr. Shawn or Ms. Glady no later than Saturday, Oct. 6, to advise if you are going or not.

At this point, we may have the scout bus available, but that won't be confirmed until Oct. 4, so we may need to carpool.  It would also depend on the number of participants going. 

We will meet at the church at 12 Noon.  Our packaging time is 1:15-3:00 PM, same as last year, so we would be back at the church by 4:00.
