BEMIDJI "FOR THE LOVE OF HAITI" FOOD PACKAGING EVENT
Mike and Pam Beard, along with the United Way, have arranged for KIDS AGAINST HUNGER to again do a 1 day blitz food packaging session here in Bemidji.
The event will take place on Sat. Feb. 27th at the BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB of the Bemidji Area in our gymnasium. We will be having 3 packaging sessions!10am - 11:30 am, 12 noon to 1:30 pm and 2pm to 3:30 pm. Each session will host 200 volunteers. These volunteers will be packaging a high protein nutritious dry rice/soy/veg blend in assembly style fashion. Each package feeds 6 and currently costs about .15 per meal for ingredients and packaging. It again will be shipped FREE OF CHARGE via US gov't as KAH is a recognized 501C3 emergency food provider. A semi will take the pallets from Bemidji to a warehouse in St. Cloud to join up with food packaged there during a 2 day citywide packaging session being held there.
What we need most are:
1) MONEY ...150,000 meals is the goal X .15 cents = $22,500 in 3 weeks!! Contributions are tax deductable (checks made out to Kids Against Hunger) and an account is being set up at First National Bank.
2) VOLUNTEERS...we need 600 people to give up 2 hours of their Saturday. United Way of Bemidji has generously agreed to help with the coordination of volunteers. This is a great opportunity for a church, club, service group, or class to get behind.
3) PUBLICITY!! An official press release with the FINAL DETAILS and more specifics will be coming out soon!
If you would like to Volunteer, please go to
