Members of the Church of the Cross in West Millcreek gathered together after their morning service to package nearly 25,000 macaroni and cheese meals for kids.
The members weighed, measured, poured, heat sealed and packed the dry ingredients for the thousands of meals.
The macaroni meals are fortified with soy protein, nutrients, and vitamins.
This is the first time the church has done this, but Pastor Jim Moelk says he hopes this will become an annual thing.
The meals will be distributed by the Second Harvest Food Bank to needy families in the Erie County area.
The charity event was made possible by a partnership with the nonprofit Outreach, Inc - from Union, Iowa.
