WORLD HUNGER IS SURMOUNTABLE
Stop Hunger Now’s volunteer-based meal packaging program plays a significant role in feeding the world.
Our 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 sent around the world to people suffering from severe hunger. The food stores easily, transports quickly and has a shelf-life of five years.
Since the program’s inception in 2005, volunteers have packaged more than 18 million meals for the world’s most impoverished.
WHERE YOU COME IN
Countless congregations, civic organizations, corporations and schools have enjoyed organizing a Stop Hunger Now meal packaging event. It is an immensely fun, hands-on and rewarding experience for anyone of any age.
40-50 volunteers can package 10,000 meals in just two hours.
