There will be a large event on Saturday, June 5, to bag 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes. These will be distributed to more than 30 food pantries and feeding programs ranging from Wake County to Greensboro. This event is sponsored by the Society of St. Andrew who coordinates bagging and gleaning activities in 25+ states.
The event will be in the parking lot at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church, 520 West Holding Street, Wake Forest. Check-in will start at 8:30 am followed by a prayer at 8:50 am. The bagging is expected to begin at 9:00 am and should take an hour or so.
This is a great family event for the young from 5 years old and up. As the event will be capped at 250 volunteers, please register in advance at:
