Several Heritage Lions and their families helped pack meals for Pack Away Hunger in early March. Pack Away Hunger’s mission is to eliminate hunger in Indiana and around the world through nutritious food, education and service. In the United States, their Nutri-Plenty Meals help stock the shelves of local food banks and pantries. In developing nations, their meals are used to offset chronic malnutrition in children, and to nourish communities suffering from hunger. Each year, through community partnerships and meal packing events, they educate more than 8,000 people about the toll hunger takes on individuals and communities.
Their hope is that this information will inspire people to advocate and care for the hungry in their own communities and around the world. Meal packing events are a powerful and hands-on way for organizations and individuals to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Appropriate for all ages and all abilities, their events allow diverse groups to serve together, build camaraderie and promote team building.
