Mission ImPASTAble

This Christmas season West Side is taking on a big project called Hope for the Holidays.  Working with our partner school, Harvard Park, we’ve discovered that one of the biggest needs their students have is for food.  While Christmas break is an exciting time for most kids, there is often a sense of dread in many Harvard Park students because without school, they know they won’t have a regular source of food and will often spend their days hungry.

Our goal this year is to provide two weeks worth of meals for every family at Harvard Park Elementary School.  At over 60,000 meals total, this is a HUGE undertaking.  To help make this goal a reality, our Jr. High ministry is going to take on our own challenge that we’re calling, Mission ImPASTAble.  Over the next few weeks our goal is to collect at least 300 boxes of spaghetti noodles and 600 cans of spaghetti sauce.

Visit our Mission ImPASTAble page more info including info specifics on what we’re collecting and some resources to help get your friends and neighbors involved.  You can also add Wednesday, December 7th to your calendar as finish up our Mission ImPASTAble effort with food collection contest at V-Groups that night.

Join us as we tackle this project and help feed hungry kids in Springfield this Christmas!
