In response to the disaster in Haiti, the Parker County unit of Kids Against Hunger held two packing events with the goal of packaging  100, 000 meals to send to Haiti.  On Saturday, February 27th an event was held at First United Methodist Church in Weatherford and on Saturday, March 6th one was held at Northside Baptist Church. Volunteers gathered to fill the bags to be sent immediately to Haiti to help with hunger; one of the many issues.  At the end of the day on March 6th, volunteers had prepared 121,176 meals.  Donations can still be made to Kids Against Hunger and mailed to:

The Parker County Ministerial Alliance has recently formed a local unit of Kids Against Hunger.  In October a large group of people from a number of churches gathered to fill the bags.  A second such event was held December 19th.  In December a total of 6 pallets or 7,128 bags were packed. That is enough food to feed 117 children for one year.  This food was shipped to Ruinosa, Mexico.  The first packing went to Honduras.
If you would like to participate in the next packing day or find out more information - please contact the main office at Couts.

MISSION OF KIDS AGAINST HUNGER

The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a humanitarian food-aid organization, is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. Kids Against Hunger is not affiliated with or restricted to a particular religious group and does not discriminate on any basis when distributing its meals. Some of the organization’s volunteers and affiliates are driven by their love of God and helping to feed all of His children, but all religions and non-religious groups are welcome to volunteer, donate, and help in any way.

The organization’s approach to achieving its goal - the eradication of world hunger - includes the packaging of a highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole by volunteers at numerous locations within the USA and Canada, and the distribution of those meals to starving children and their families in over 60 countries through partnerships with humanitarian organizations worldwide. In 2008 alone, volunteers at Kids Against Hunger’s food packaging centers across the USA packaged over 40 million meals for children and their families around the world and around the corner.

The Kids Against Hunger food packaging network consists of the organization’s International Headquarters office located in New Hope, MN (a suburb of Minneapolis), a Division in Mankato, MN, and close to 70 independent non-profit food packaging "satellites" across the U.S. and Canada.

Kids Against Hunger was incorporated in 1999, but the organization’s founder, Richard Proudfit, has been involved with various hunger relief projects for over thirty years. Kids Against Hunger is a nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS for tax-deductible donations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

It is the vision of Richard Proudfit and Kids Against Hunger:

  • To continue setting up food packaging satellites in each state of the USA.
  • To spearhead community and youth volunteer packaging of Kids Against Hunger’s highly nutritious meals.
  • To deliver Kids Against Hunger’s food in the USA and worldwide through partnerships with other humanitarian organization
