The Washington Area Ministerial Association is fighting hunger this fall. The group of area churches is coming together to package food for Kids Against Hunger and HACAP, or Hawkeye Area Community Action Program. Pastor Maureen Howard of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Washington explains volunteers from the area will meet at St. James Catholic Church in Washington on October 11th.

They are currently seeking donations to fund the event. Churches taking part include United Methodist Church, United Presbyterian Church, First Baptist, First Assembly of God, St. James and Immanuel Lutheran.
