Change this World Charity event

Sunday, Jun 26, 2011 | On Target Page: Wesley Chapel Community Events, Wesley Chapel

Scene on Glass Media, a Tampa Advertising Company, organized and promoted a very special “Change this World” charity event that was hosted by Wesley Chapel Toyota at their dealership in Wesley Chapel. More than 200 volunteers went to work wrapping and packaging 40, 000 meals that will be shipped to thousands of families in Africa. The meals consisted of nutrients, including oatmeal, rice and vitamin powder that would feed a family of four and be able to be kept for three years without spoiling.

Eric Johnson, director of Corporate & Community Relations gave a rallying cry when the total reached 20,000 meals, in front of people young and old, from all walks of life who came together to help those they knew are in need. They reached their goal of 40,000 by the end of the event

Age was not a factor when it came to who helped package these meals, as can be seen with Lauren Kelly, a petite volunteer who came with her parents to help out.
