2016 has been a busy year.
Since January we have shipped four full containers to Haiti and two to the Philippines!
We have also provided Feeding America with 125,000 meals.
In total, 13,000 volunteers have helped pack over 1.3 million meals so far this year.
Last year we packed a total of 1.7 million meals and it looks like 2016 is well on the way to meeting or breaking that record.
Once our food leaves the warehouse our partners pick it up at the international destination and deliver it to the families and children in need. One of our partners, International Care Ministries, distributes KAH food to ultra-poor families in the Philippines. You can find more about them at http://www.caremin.com/
A big thank you to ICM for all the work they are doing in the Philippines! A container with over 237,000 meals will be on the way to you by the end of the month.
Second Harvest Food Bank picked up 59,400 meals today to be used in their Food 4 Thought program. Kids that participate in their summer program receive tutoring, participate in physical activities and are given a bag of groceries to bring home. For more about their program go to their website: http://www.localfoodbank.org/food-4-thought/
"What you do makes this happen! These children have grown leaps and bounds since we incorporated KAH food. The regular rice & veggies didn't do the same!"
This quote was taken from a thank you we received from Empowering Haitian Moms. Another full shipment to Haiti is leaving the warehouse next week so these children can continue to grow strong and healthy.
