Members of the Kempsville Lions Club gathered on October 22nd, at the Thaila Lynn Baptist Church, located in Virginia Beach, to partake in our World Service Day event. This year our Chair decided on Stop Hunger Now, a world-wide distributer of meals to those in need.  Saturday's meals were going to the Horn of Africa.

The meals are highly nutritious, dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, flavoring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals. Each package provides a reasonable serving for six and costs approximately 25 cents to make.  The meals are easy to transport, store and distribute to those in greatest need. The meal packaging program predominantly provides meals to support school feeding programs in schools and orphanages around the world. This is a pivotal step because children in impoverished areas are often sent to school if they will be fed. The education they receive is the turning point at which many negative factors such as infant mortality, disease and gender equality are impacted and communities can begin to heal themselves..

More than 1 billion people do not have enough to eat. In developing countries, 10.9 million children under age five die each year. In fact, a child dies every six seconds from a hunger-related cause.

The meals are packaged by volunteers – like us. Through a fun and engaging assembly line process, a team of 40 volunteers can package 10,000 meals in just two hours.
