Packaging is March 24, 2010 at the Paton-Churdan Community School Building
What can 13 cents buy? Not too much these days, but it will buy a meal to help fight hunger across the world. Kids Against Hunger is an ecumenical opportunity for Middle School and High School students to make a difference side by side with a little sweat equity. The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a humanitarian food-aid organization, is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. Last year 71,280 meals were packaged at a cost of around $9800. Most of the food went to Honduras and some went to Haiti. Now, more than ever, food is needed. For 2010, our goal is to package 75,000 meals at a cost of $10,250. The packaging will take place on March 24th at the school in Churdan. Donations can be sent to St. Joseph’s Parish Center, c/o Shannon Duffy, 501 N Locust, Jefferson IA 50129. Please make checks payable to St. Joseph’s with Kids Against Hunger (KAH) noted in the memo. With questions, contact Wendy Pittman at 386-2514 or w2pittman@netins.net
