Kokomo men host Ride to End Hunger

KOKOMO, Ind. -- To relieve hunger, the men of Kokomo are revvin' their engines.

The Kokomo District United Methodist Men in partnership with the Society of St. Andrew and New Life United Methodist Men welcome all motorcyclists to join them in a Motor Cycle Ride to End Hunger on Saturday, Oct. 9. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the ride beginning at 10 a.m. The ride will begin and end at New Life United Methodist Church, 400 North on U.S. 31 in Miami County. Food and drinks will be served at the conclusion of the ride.

Riders are asked to bring canned goods to donate. Monetary donations will be received to bring in semi-truck loads of food at a later date. Those without motorcycles may participate by driving pickup trucks to receive and deliver the canned goods to local relief agencies.

The Society of St. Andrew is a non-profit ecumenical ministry dedicated to fight hunger in our nation and world. Through the Society of St. Andrew's potato project, more than 20 million pounds of produce are salvaged annually to provide 60 million servings to food banks, soup kitchens, Native American reservations and other food distribution agencies nationwide -- this cost about two-cents a serving. The Society of St. Andrew is an Advance Special mission project of The United Methodist Church.

For more information, contact Gary Hostetler at 765-395-7161 or Ed Newbill at 765-689-9888.
