Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Kids Against Hunger - Our Quad Cities is part of Kids Against Hunger, an international food relief organization working to save the lives of starving people. Kids Against Hunger uses teams of people who donate their time, energy, and finances to help bag life saving food. Quad City people of all ages package meals made up of: rice, soy, 6 vegetables, and 21 vitamins and minerals. The cost of each meal is 25¢. Kids Against Hunger - Our Quad Cities provides meals for hungry kids in Nicaragua, Honduras, Haiti and the Quad Cities (Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island). 

How to Help:

Volunteers are needed to organize packaging events, in which volunteers bag life saving food for hungry people. Packaging events are sponsored by an organization that can bring together a team (or teams) of 12 volunteers. The cost and number of volunteers is flexible. A typical example is $360 per team to package 1,440 meals in an hour. Representatives of schools, churches, or other organizations that would like to host a Packaging Event should call John or Gail Kessler at (309) 762-0437. Volunteers are also needed to join the Kids Against Hunger - Our Quad Cities team, where they would help setup and monitor packaging events.
