Pupusa Wednesday on 9/10 at Hope Lutheran Church

/ District 2 Councilmembers - College Park, MD
The Lutheran and Episcopal Chaplaincy at UMD is starting a new program called Pupusas Wednesday, and they are asking your help!.  It is both a feeding program and one that focuses on hunger advocacy and community building.  Research shows that 19%+ of college students nationwide are food insecure, along with an overall food insecure population of approx. 11% nationwide.  As part of the program, they will be serving free pupusas to everyone who comes: students, staff, people in the community, faculty, the unhoused, etc.  (A pupusa is a delicious type of food prevalent in Central America- you can google it! We will also have an allergen free option)
 
Here’s where you and your community can help.  They are running a soft launch on Wednesday, 9/10, 11-2pm to help prepare for their grand launch on 9/17 (and then they will continue to serve every Wednesday, except Thanksgiving Wednesday, until classes end the week of 12/10).  It will be at Hope Lutheran Church, 4201 Guilford Dr., College Park.  They have three particular asks:
