Feed My Sheep packs food for hungry children in Gardner and Athol

From Massachusetts-

Jean Kunzinger was on hand to greet people who were volunteering their Saturday to participate in Feed My Sheep, a multi-denominational gathering to combat hunger in the area. Kunzinger said 68 people signed up for Feed My Sheep on Saturday, and the crowd was singing as they packed food for those in need.

“It is great to see so many come together,” said Kunzinger as the room broke out in song with “Sweet Caroline.”
The event was the brainchild of a local activist who heard children were hungry.

Susan Hubbard, affectionately called “Old Mother Hubbard,” a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, said that she began bringing the project Feed My Sheep together after attending events where people gathered to pack food for the hungry in other areas. She brought the idea to her church to see if they were interested in making a difference.

“As a church, we decided that we wanted to do something more to help,” she said.
