feed my starving children
July 30, 2009
Wild Harvest is at it again; however this time the team found themselves at Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen, MN.
read full descriptionDuring the introductory video we learned that nearly 18,000 children under 5 die from starvation every day. Feed My Starving Children is proud to say that 94% of all donations go directly to the cost of food. Each bag of food packaged holds six servings of a nutritious meal composed of vegetarian chicken flavor complete with 26 vitamins and minerals, dried vegetables, brown soy powder and rice. Given that this is a vegetarian meal it is an acceptable meal for starving children anywhere in the world.
We started our afternoon helping the organization catch up with labeling bags used to pack the food. You may or may not know that the Wild Harvest team is made up of some competitive individuals...so we had a pretty good run at labeling.
Next it was off to the old assembly line to package the food. It was "chicken, veggies, soy, rice"..."chicken, veggies, soy, rice" and by the time we were done we had packed enough food to feed 11 children for a year (19 boxes filled with 4,104 meals to be exact)!
Keep on the lookout for Wild Harvest volunteers to strike again this fall.
