Parishioners and school families at St. Therese in Deephaven hit a 1 million-meal milestone March 15 while packing meals for Coon Rapids-based Feed My Starving Children.

More than 270 people filled the gymnasium at the parish school for the last leg of the parish’s Lenten service project this year that involved 800 volunteers preparing 108,864 meals — enough meals to feed 298 children each day for one year.

St. Therese parishioners also donated $32,255 to pay for the food that was packed.

The parish has been helping FMSC since 2013.
