Current 5th-8th graders will again partner with the organization Harvest of Hope to learn about the issue of hunger and how we are called to assist our neighbors in need.

• Come work in the fields harvesting crops as we partner with Harvest of Hope to “glean” crops to donate to local food banks
• Gleaning is a practice that comes from the Old Testament as a way of helping those in poverty or struggling with hunger
• For COVID safety, we’ll do this as a “Family-based” experience where youth will sleep at home and parents provide transportation and can join in the gleaning too
• We’ll have team gatherings throughout the weekend for fellowship, education, and worship
• Older youth unable to attend the Appalachia mission are welcome to participate in the Mini-Mission
• COST = $20 per student and $20 per parent
