KCAH, works with a multitude of different organization to produce a 390-gram food packet that provides enough nutrition for six adults or twelve kids. These packets are produced at different schools, churches, and community halls and are called packaging events. The meal packing event empowers volunteers from all walks of life to share their talents and abilities to touch peoples’ lives whom they may know and some whom they may never see, but they do make an impacted as they work together feeding children around the corner and around the world.
We accomplish this by delivering a highly nutritious meal, that was developed by food scientists to provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins needed by an undernourished child’s body and mind. The food is also acceptable to the broad diversity of ethnic tastes and religious differences around the world. The food offers all nine of the essential amino acids required for complete nutrition, something that can’t be said about other typical food relief sources such as rice or beans alone. It is also very simple to prepare, requiring only six cups of boiling water to make a complete meal.

Lee said, “Create Lasting Impact” was announced by Rotary International President-Elect Olayinka Hakeem Babalola during the International Assembly. Create Lasting Impact, encourages all of us, as people of action, to work together to make a meaningful difference in our communities and around the world.
