The June meeting of the Women of Grace, from Grace Anglican Church in Arthur, included a trip to Moorefield to volunteer for the Reapers of Hope food drying program.
Members helped process 2,200 pounds of asparagus and 200 pounds of potatoes.
The group enjoyed a tour of the modern operation managed by the Christian Aid Ministries and maintained by many volunteers.
The dried veggies produce a nutritious dried soup mix for needy people in third world countries.
The group enjoyed lunch at the Moorefield Diner.
After lunch members returned to Arthur to conduct their business meeting, which included making a donation to the Reapers of Hope.
Plans were made to feed volunteers from the Arthur Food Bank. Final plans were also discussed for the Strawberry Supper on June 26 at the Arthur Community Centre.
