Anyone have all the details? Time is 6-8pm this Thursday @ the NEW Cleveland HS. (but where?) I was told to wear a hat. MORE: Meal Packaging Programs Countless congregations, civic organizations, corporations and schools have enjoyed organizing a Stop Hunger Now meal packaging event. It is an immensely fun, hands-on and rewarding experience for anyone of any age. A group of 40-50 volunteers can package 10,000 meals in just two hours. To get started in organizing your packaging event set a goal for the number of meals you will package and contact your local program coordinator. Start to recruit volunteers based on the number of meals you plan to package. Then you can begin to fund your event. All you need to raise is 25 cents for each meal you package. Stop Hunger Now meals pack a big punch. Every dehydrated rice/soy meal is fortified with 21 essential vitamins and nutrients. Research has shown that one in three people in developing countries are adversely affected by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Addressing the problem of hunger is the single point where we can leverage relief for all humanitarian issues. With your support, relief organizations such as Stop Hunger Now have the means to deliver to ongoing school feeding programs that sustain lifelong change. Providing a hot meal during school gives parents an incentive to send their children to school. Through receiving a primary school education, the cycle of poverty can begin to be broken by leveraging change in many other issues including education, maternal health, childhood mortality, gender equality and combating HIV/AIDS. We currently require that our in-country partners report on the impact of the Stop Hunger Now shipments they received. Our strategic plan recognizes the challenges of getting impact reports from our in-country partners, and we are working to improve that process.
Join the Cleveland School Rotary Club, the Cleveland High School Interact Club and other area Rotary Clubs for our Stop Hunger Now event. We will be packaging 20,000 meals between 6pm and 8pm at the new Cleveland High School cafeteria. Wear a hat to avoid the dreaded hair net. DW- Thanks for the info.
