50,000 meals for Marshall County
Over two shifts inside the Marshalltown High School cafeteria on Wednesday night, local volunteers — in partnership with L.U.C.C. (Leaders Uplifting our Community with Charity) from West Marshall High School, S.E.A.L. (Students Empowering and Leading) from East Marshall High School and S.T.E.P. (Students Teaching and Empowering Philanthropy) and Rotary Interact from MHS, packed 50,000 “Meals from the Heartland” to be distributed within Marshall County. Kendra Sorensen and Michelle Roseburrough Halverson of the Marshalltown Area United Way estimated that there were about 150 packers for the first shift and 125 during the second one.
