Donate Today. Help Complete the Mission.

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.
