Kids Against Hunger 250,000 Meal Community Packing Event

Manzanita Outreach /Kids Against Hunger Verde Valley will partner with the community to package 250,000 meals in a day-long event at the Verde Valley Fairgrounds Oct 11, 2014.

In addition to the organization's food product for international distribution, at the Oct 11 event, Kids Against Hunger will package a new macaroni-and cheese product that will be distributed 100% locally.

About 230 community volunteers will be needed to man the 20 packing lines for each session. In all about 700 volunteers will be needed throughout the day. Food packers must be at least 10 years old.

Donations to help pay the costs associated with this event are encouraged. 

Kids Against Hunger is also accepting $1000.00 sponsorships for this event. The tax deductible sponsorships will pay for the costs of the food supplies that will be packaged at the event and will allow community members, clubs and organizations to pack in the event for free.
