140 volunteers of all ages gathered at two Martin Luther King, Jr. Day service projects and took action to end hunger.  For the eighth consecutive year, Bardstown Rotary Club and local high school volunteers mobilized at Bethlehem High School, packaging 21,624 Nutri-Plenty servings.  The Temple (Louisville, KY) also hosted an inter-faith event where volunteers produced 10,848 fortified meals.

Love the Hungry is preparing humanitarian aid shipments for Guatemala, South Sudan, and Eastern Europe during the first quarter of 2019.

Since 2012, more than 210,000 fortified meals have been produced during MLK Day service projects.

Love the Hungry is grateful for the many individuals and organizations that supported our mission throughout 2018.  Here’s a look at the numbers:

• 812,898 Nutri-Plenty® servings packaged throughout the year
• 5,697,522 total meals packaged since inception (2012)
• 520,344 meals delivered to non-governmental partners in Haiti, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and Niger
• 52,920 meals delivered to 13 local organizations
• 450,000+ meals in inventory ready to deliver in 2019

Every Nutri-Plenty® serving provides nourishment and hope to children and families most vulnerable to chronic hunger.  Thank you for making 2018 another meaningful year!

The mission isn’t complete until the children are fed.

It’s been a great year!  More than 4,800 volunteers of all ages have participated in Love the Hungry packaging sessions – producing 800,000+ fortified Nutri-Plenty servings.  Every meal provides nourishment and hope to children and families that are most vulnerable to hunger.

However, the ongoing humanitarian mission in South Sudan is in crisis.  Supplies have been depleted and 900 orphaned children are at risk of no longer receiving the daily meals that provide the essential nutrients needed for better health.  A nine-month supply of Nutri-Plenty servings is ready to be shipped, but additional funding of $10,000 is needed to offset the shipping costs and expedite delivery.

Will you help complete the mission with a year-end donation?  Your gift will directly benefit this special appeal and ensure that the mission in South Sudan is fulfilled.  The need is urgent, and we ask for your prayerful consideration.
