MAC & CHEESE 2013...Guess What the Goal Is...

Well, SIX THOUSAND BOXES is the Goal for this 2013 Season...and with the help of the community and God's guidance, there is no doubt the Sierra Vista United Methodist Youth will accompish this milestone.

2012 Is Our BIGGEST Year Ever ! Over 5,000 boxes of Mac and Cheese!

The SVUMC youth delivered boxes of macaroni & cheese on Friday December 28th, 2012 to 6 charities: Project Dignidad, House Of Faith, Wesley Soup Kitchen, Salvation Army, Meals For The Elderly and Rust Street Ministries! 

They also gave each student from Alta Loma Elementary School a box as well...for a grand total of 5,472 boxes collected and now delivered!!! How awesome is that???? What could be next??? With God's help...the sky is the limit!!

2,435 boxes of Mac & Cheese Pile High at SVUMC

Goals and Records are made to be broken! That has never been more true than with the 2011 Mac & Cheese food drive. The 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade class of Sierra Vist United Methodist Church once again have surpassed their goal of 2,011 boxes of Mac & Cheese in 2011. The count as of today is 2,435 boxes, and those boxes cover 3 of the 4 walls in their classroom.


Joe Lee, one of the sunday school teachers, brought up an excellent comparison. The number of boxes collected this year is more than the previous 3 years combined. His point is that you cannot limit God, or yourself for that matter.

This "Special Project" was recognized recently by the United Methodist Southwest Texas Conference.

The Year is 2011 and the Goal is 2011 !!

Can you feel it? It is that time of year again!

The Mac & Cheese 2011 is kicking off. Last year, with your help, the Sierra Vista UMC 7th & 8th grade Sunday School Class raised 1524 boxes of Mac & Cheese. These boxes of Mac & Cheese were donated to 4 worthwhile charities in San Angelo.

2010 - The "Mac and Cheese 1000" Race is ON !!

The 7th and 8th grade Sunday School class at Sierra Vista United Methodist Church (SVUMC) are off the the races again for 2010. They have "opened their door" to allow the boxes of Mac and Cheese to roll in!

Their target this year is not 300 boxes of Mac and Cheese. Its not even 500 boxes. They laughed when 750 boxes was mentioned. They decided the goal was going to be 1000 boxes or nothing! They weren't just going to "Beat Hunger" this year. The class was determined that they were going to send "Hunger" to the hospital in critical condition.

The classmates joined together and spread the word through out the community and their church home of SVUMC. And once again the church and the community has started to answer the call. It has been "Raining" boxes of Mac and Cheese around the classroom.

Check out the counter on this website and the "thermometer" on their classroom wall to see where the count of boxes stand.

Whether its one box...

...or one case...

...they all count in the "Race to Beat Hunger"!

Great things are bound to happen when these kids are in charge.

2009 - The MAC and CHEESE 500 - SCORES BIG !!

The Sierra Vista UMC 7th and 8th Grade Class set their sites on collecting 500 boxes of Mac and Cheese this holiday season for Project Dignidad. They truly wanted to "Race to Beat Hunger"!

So they talked to their friends...they announced their project in church...they visited adult sunday school classes...they even asked their brothers and sisters for help. The boxes started rolling into their sunday school class. Soon it was time to see what they had collected.



So the class started counting the boxes.

They counted....

and counted...

...and then they stacked...

and stacked...

and stacked.

The final total was...701 boxes of MAC and CHEESE!! They also purchased Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Spagetti with the money donated...what a blessing!!!

Then it was time the load up Suburban to take this Christmas Blessing to Project Dignidad.

So they loaded...

and loaded...

and loaded.

WELL DONE...

...GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS!!
