Why donate your time or money.
Every year, 10 million people die from hunger related causes, that`s more than the entire population of North Carolina. These deaths are entirely preventable by simply providing adequate food and nutrition.
Hunger Statistics:
- 25,000 die every day from hunger.
- 60% of those who die from hunger are children.
- 1 billion people live on less than $1/day.
- There has been an increase of 960 million cases of hunger since 2006.
- Preventable conditions such as malnutrition and diarrhea kill 1 in 4 children under the age of 5
Our goal is to raise $45,000 from corporations, community organizations, churches, and individuals interested in providing meals to families in need.
On April 28th, 2012 more than 900 people will gather to package 300,000 meals in one day. These meals are highly nutritious and can be stored for up to 5 years to ensure no food is wasted. Please donate your money or time.
Who your donation helps.
Meals will be split locally and internationally. Rotarians Against Hunger have made a commitment to donate 70% of meals to help families here in western North Carolina. These meals be provided to MANNA Food Bank for distribution.
30 % will of the meals will be distributed internationally. We will determine placement based on world events.
We're anxious to provide the meals needed to help these families, but we need the help of individuals are organizations like yours to make this goal a reality.
