Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church recently awarded its latest small community grant of $1,000 to Tzouanakis Intermediate School’s Tiger Pack program.

The mission of the Tiger Pack program is to serve Tzouanakis families who are known to be food-insecure. Every Friday, food is sent home with students in need to help get them through the weekend. These food bags are packed after school on Thursday afternoons by teacher volunteers.

The Tiger Pack program is funded solely by the donations from local churches and individuals. For more information or to donate, contact Jamey Landry at 653-4700, ext. 434, or by email at jlandry@greencastle.k12.in.us.

Gobin’s small grants program awards up to $1,000 quarterly to support local mission and service projects. Its goal is to maintain and grow projects that provide hope and support to individuals struggling with personal, spiritual, emotional or economic issues.
