Volunteers put together meals to be sent to Haiti during a Harvest Pack event at the Runestone Community Center in Alexandria on Thursday, August 26. About 65,000 meals were packaged at the event, which was enough to complete the filling of a container that will be shipped to Haiti. The event was facilitated by the Forada Lions.
