Over a hundred students filled the main commons and lobby of Lynch Hall, Wednesday August 25 and packed over 12,000 meals for children and families in Haiti.
Stop Hunger Now is a Raleigh based international food relief agency. The packaged protein & rice meals will be shipped to Haiti and other third-world nations in need. Once on the ground the food goes to well established school feeding programs. Parents send their children to these schools because they offer the children lunch and a meal for home and thereby the child not only receives food, food for his or her family, but also a quality education.
To date over 31 million meals have been packaged and UCF campus ministry with UNC Charlotte students have packed over 24,000 meals in the last sixth months at a cost of $6,000 or 25 cent a meal.
