Meals for Haiti A Success
Saturday and Sunda May 1 and 2, many people from the Norwalk area spent
time packaging meals for those in Haiti. This event took place at Crossroads Church.
These volunteers included young and old.
Due to their hard work and the wonderful financial donations, 75,036 meals were
packaged, crushing the original goal of 40,000 meals. This was only possible because
people of Norwalk (churches, organizations, business owners, sports teams, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc., etc.) gave with incredible generosity to this effort. Total
amount donated was over $12,100. The Crossroads Deacons and Pastor Glen Blumer
(event organizers) thank you all for your kindness.
Organizers are already hearing from several people who participated that they
would like to have Crossroads organize a similar event next year. The organizers are
very excited about this opportunity. The key to doing so is fund raising. Each meal
costs 15 cents.
If you are willing to donate toward another "Meals From the Heartland" event
next year (held about the same time in 2011), send your donations to Crossroads
Church, 2601 Border St., Norwalk, IA 50211. Place "MEALS" in the memo line of
your check. Sending in your donations now will help the organizers determine the
viability of another meals packaging event next year. All donations will go directly
to "Meals From the Heartland."
Questions? Call Pastor Glen at Crossroads Church. More information will be dis-
tributed as plans are considered for an event in 2011. Until then, Great Job Norwalk!
