Stop Hunger Now
A great opportunity to see how it works
in partnership with Stop Hunger Now
on Saturday, January 25
The Rotary Clubs of Nashoba Valley, Clinton, and Littleton are sponsoring a Stop Hunger Now food packaging event on Saturday, January 25, from 10-1 in the cafeteria of Nashoba Regional High School, 12 Green Street in Bolton, MA. The goal is to package 10,000 meals in a couple of hours. Interested participants can register with info@nashobarotary.org. Walk-in volunteers and all fellow Rotarians are welcome.
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.
“Stop Hunger Now is a great way to provide healthy, cost-effective meals,” said Laura Spear, President of the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley. “The Rotary Clubs are funding the 25 cents cost per meal. Now we need help from anyone and everyone to reach our packaging goal and help us combat hunger here in the United States and around the world.”
Established in 1998, Stop Hunger Now coordinates the distribution of food and other life-saving aid to crisis-burdened areas around the world. For more information, visit www.stophungernow.org.
