The World Hunger Crisis
More than 1 billion people do not have enough to eat. In developing countries, 10.9 million children under age five die each year. In fact, a child dies every six seconds from a hunger-related cause.
Be Part of the Solution
The reality is that the world hunger crisis is surmountable. There are enough sustainable food resources, processing potential and distribution know-how to feed everyone.
We at {pump road} are partnering with Stop Hunger Now to host a meal packing event on January 21, 2012.
Stop Hunger Now’s meal packaging program is recognized as a viable solution to combat hunger among the world’s most impoverished. Each high protein, dehydrated meal, comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, flavoring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals, provides a reasonable serving for six. The meals are easy to transport, store and distribute to those in greatest need.
A System of Volunteers
The meals are packaged by volunteers – like you. Through a fun and engaging assembly line process, a team of 40 volunteers can package 10,000 meals in just two hours.
Our goal is to have 400-500 volunteers at our {forest ave} site on January 21 to package 100,000 meals. The goal is ambitious, but you can help us succeed! Because each meal costs just 25¢ your contributions make a big difference.
At {pump road} we see this as an excellent opportunity to invite our friends, neighbors, and co-workers to join us as we serve the world’s poorest populations.
