| Stop Hunger Now |

This program provides life-saving meals to people throughout the world who suffer from starvation. It is a volunteer-based program that enables churches and other organizations to play a significant roll by packaging high protein, dehydrated meals for needy areas such as Haiti, Kenya, Ghana, Honduras, and more. It also provides an on-site mission that illustrates the spirituality of hospitality, compassion, and justice.
Consider hosting an event at your church, or check back frequently to see if there is a Stop Hunger Now event happening in your area. | |
