47,000 Meals!

Tonight we held a class at Lipscomb University to work on our Hearts4Hunger campaign. As the meeting began, our class was pumped to get started, but there was a certain rumbling in our stomachs. Thankfully, Dr. Charla Long provided the class with $65 worth of delicious Papa John’s pizza. Before the delivery boy could hop out the door, she informed him that with those $65 we could feed 260...
