The numbers for the Provo Missionary Training Center's annual Thanksgiving Day service project are staggering — some 350,000 meal kits to provide food for 140,000 families, all packaged by 1,516 missionary volunteers in just two hours.
That was the result from the efforts Thursday, Nov. 28, as missionaries were divided into production teams over two hour-long shifts and packaged bags of Thai noodles at dozens of tables set up in the MTC campus' underground parking facility.
It marked the seventh year that the Provo MTC has used a Thanksgiving holiday to help the nonprofit Feeding Children Everywhere. Deseret.com offers more details and photos from the day's service project.
Earlier in the day, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles joined his wife, Sister Kathy Andersen, and 10 of their grandchildren in providing a Thanksgiving Day devotional at the Provo MTC.
