100,000 meals packaged during Meals from the Heartland 2024

During the 2024 Meals from the Heartland event, held on Wednesday, April 24, as part of Southwestern Community College's (SWCC's) annual Pay it Forward Week, 100,000 meals were packaged, setting a new record for the event!

A huge thank you to everyone who was a part of the day--including the Union County Development Association's (UCDA's) Lead UC leadership group, and the 49 teams packaging, totaling 415 volunteers!

This event is possible each year due to the collaboration between UCDA and SWCC! The meals packaged are distributed worldwide.
