Past Missions Projects:
End 68 Hours of Hunger
The Mission Team would like to thank everyone who donated food to the End 68 Hours Collection. End 68 Hours of Hunger collects food and donates it to students who may not be getting adequate meals on the weekend. 68 hours refers to the time between the last school lunch served on Friday and the first breakfast served on Monday morning. They are currently serving 203 students in our local Willoughby-Eastlake, Mentor and Painesville districts, including 20 students here at Royalview.
We collected: 152 cans of tuna, 132 cans/cups of fruit
assorted other boxes of cereal, soup, peanut butter and boxes of Macaroni and Cheese
Care Packages to Troops
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our collection for care packages. We were able to send 11 boxes packed with Gatorade, granola bars, trail mix, sports magazines, and baby wipes to troops currently stationed in Afghanistan!
