Spring, food security and possibilities: the not surprising connection

Posted March 31, 2018 by Chris Evans at 10:53 AM
Hello Spring
Spring makes us think of possibilities, new growth and beginnings, with the budding trees, emerging flowers, and longer days.

We’ve been experiencing a little of that here at Feed Northland Kids. Exciting times planning for the 2018-2019 school year and involving corporate and civic groups in our mission.  This time of year provides an easy analogy for the role consistent and nutritious food can play in seeing the full potential and bloom for the future of our northland kids. Read on for some highlights and other ways you can continue to help!

Many thanks to the Kansas City Metro Men’s Choir! Your beautiful voices attracted a nice crowd of music lovers and supporters, raising $2,000 for our mission!! Enjoyed talking with many of you after the performance while munching on cookies provided by the fabulous KC Royal Diamond’s group. Thanks to North Cross UMC for serving as a gracious host!
