Thank you!

This year’s Feed the Need Event was a huge success! And we couldn’t have done it without our supporters, like you. We were blown away by the response and generosity by all who attended, and loved spending such a memorable night with you.

If you weren’t able to attend, check out this video that we showed at the event and hear stories about some of the lives being touched through Mission U-Too.

We also wanted to share a few photos from the night in the slideshow below. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this night an evening to remember!

We hope you had a great time at this year’s Feed the Need Event, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
