On February 21, students from Emmanuel–St. Michael Lutheran School visited Lutheran South Unity School, where students from both schools packaged more than 36,000 meals for hungry children in the Philippines. The event was in support of Kids Against Hunger, a national organization that has a local chapter in Fort Wayne. With donations from church congregations and individual donors and through special events, chapel offerings, and funds earmarked for service learning, the students raised more than $6,600 to support the effort. Special events at Lutheran South Unity School included the ongoing sale of hot chocolate and a "Hunger Games" lock-in event and subsequent pancake breakfast attended by parents and other congregation members.
