La Plaid Literacy Council to host "Let's Feed Lebanon" meal‑pack event on Dec. 6
Summary
Dr. Carol Larson of the La Plaid Literacy Council asked the council to support a community meal‑packing event set for Dec. 6 aimed at producing 10,000 shelf‑stable meals to be distributed locally through Shepherd's Pack, senior centers and food banks.
Dr. Carol Larson, representing the La Plaid Literacy Council, addressed the Lebanon City Council during public comments to announce a community meal‑packing event called "Let's Feed Lebanon". The event is scheduled for Dec. 6 at the Mill Center; organizers plan to pack 10,000 shelf‑stable meals for local distribution to Shepherd's Pack backpacks, senior centers and food banks.
Larson said the council has run a similar program in St. Louis, packing 400,000 meals for vulnerable groups, and that the local event will need about $10,000 in sponsorships ("$1 for every meal"). She asked whether the Mill Center could be donated for two days (Dec. 5 for delivery and Dec. 6 for packing). City staff confirmed the Mill Center was already reserved for that date.
Why it matters: Organizers said the meals will supplement existing food assistance programs such as Shepherd's Pack backpacks and Meals on Wheels and could help provide an additional meal in weeks when regular distributions are limited.
Contact: Larson left business cards and asked attendees to reach out about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities.
