More than 175 volunteers turned out April 9 to assemble and pack 40,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief organization. The project was co-sponsored by the Emory Office of Spiritual and Religious Life, Glenn Memorial UMC and Emory Wesley Fellowship.

Emory students, faculty and staff worked alongside Glenn Church members and were joined by 38 Atlanta Police Department recruits to help package the meals.
