Smart Lunch, Smart Kid 2015
Looking for a meaningful way to serve this summer?
In Georgia, nearly 1 million children receive free or reduced-price lunches at school during the school year. In the summer, this crucial meal disappears, leaving parents scrambling and kids hungry. Action Ministries’ Smart Lunch, Smart Kid program provides sack lunches to thousands of North Georgia children every week in the summer, and they need volunteers to donate, assemble, and deliver lunches and enrichment to kids in need. This is a great opportunity for kids to serve other kids! SLSK coordinators in 17 counties, including Fulton, Fayette and Gwinnett, are organizing churches and volunteers now to Erase Hunger in Georgia (2015 SLSK Coordinators). Learn more about Smart Lunch, Smart Kid and sign up to volunteer online by visiting www.actionministries.net. If you can’t volunteer but would still like to help feed kids this summer, text LUNCH to 41444. Contact: Rachel Ruckart, lead program coordinator at 770-905-9191, rruckart@actionministries.net.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
