The Stop Hunger Now Event is coming soon

The Stop Hunger Now event is coming!

More than 250,000 volunteers have packaged meals through Stop Hunger Now's meal packaging program over the years. It is a fun, hand's on mission project that is suitable for all ages. Lynn Rotary has partnered with other Rotary Clubs, Lions Clubs, and church groups to put together the funds needed to package 10,000 meals. Students from St. Mary’s will help with the packaging too. The event will be held at St. Mary’s High School cafeteria on Saturday, February 28, 2015, from 8:00am to 12:00pm.

The assembly process combines rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix including 21 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packages. These meal packages are shipped around the world to support school feeding programs and crisis relief. The food stores easily, transports quickly and has a shelf-life of two years.

A sign up sheet will be sent around soon, please consider signing up!! Join the folks from those other groups in assembling these meals. It will be a great opportunity for service and fraternity with folks who also want to feed the poor. Also, just think how cool we will look with those crazy hats, just like Past President Obie!
