Until the Story is Told - Every Meal

Blue. Green. Orange. Purple. Yellow.

Colors in the rainbow, yes.

Mount Olivet members who volunteer at Northport Elementary School in Brooklyn Center also know them as the five different kinds of food bags for kids and families, each packed with culturally relevant fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains for weekend nourishment.

On Friday afternoons during the school year, many Mount Olivet hands make for light work, putting nutritious food in the backpacks of little ones as they board the bus for home.

It feels great to serve, but to look into the eyes of a child who needs food brings a whole new level of meaning to our service and giving.
