Doing Our Part To End World Hunger
By 
Volunteers, friends and family of CBS gathered at Willow North Shore, A Willow Creek Community Church, to pack seeds as part of the more than 17,000 volunteers needed to help fill nearly a million family seed packs to be distributed by local churches in El Salvador, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
It was really exciting to take part in volunteer work that really makes a difference. Each family seed pack, once planted, can produce approximately 1,000 pounds of vegetables.

Last year more than 450,000 families benefited from this outreach program.
