What: “Meal for Many” 20th anniversary celebration
Where: St. Louis Park Rec Center – Banquet Room, 3700 Monterey Drive, St. Louis Park
When: 3pm-6pm, Saturday, May 21, 2011

“Meal for Many” will mirror the actual differences of how the world nourishes itself
and will demonstrate the disparities between lower, middle and upper classes. Guests will enjoy a randomly selected meal representing the range of meals served across the globe.
“United as a community,” explains Patrick Atkinson, Founder and Executive Director “we will break the chains of poverty through education and awareness. Your support will help make the difference between food or starvation, shelter or the streets, hope or despair, life or death.”
