End Hunger in Kings Park

Dear Neighbors:

 

We are holding an event you should be aware of on April 19, 2017, at the Kings Park High School - The End Hunger in Kings Park program. We have partnered with Outreach, a non-profit organization, which will help us create an assembly line in our school cafeteria. In this assembly line, we will pack nutritious non-perishable ready to cook meals, which will be provided to local food pantries and soup kitchens, as well as directly to public school students who do not have reliable access to food. If you would like to donate your time, please join us for two hours (half hour of setup, an hour of packing and a half hour of breakdown and cleanup) on April 19, 2017 from 2:30-4:30pm. In that time, you will work at an assembly table that will make about 3,000 meals. That’s 150 meals per volunteer, per hour.

 

The food and materials provided by Outreach come at a cost of $40.00 per volunteer, or $480.00 per assembly table. This works out to approximately 25 cents per nutritious meal distributed to a hungry child! So even if you don’t have the time to join us yourself, please sponsor a volunteer or two. We’ll gather the students to pack as many meals as we can get the workforce for. If you’re in a position to, sponsor an entire table, and for $480.00 you will feed 1,800 hungry Long Islanders. If that’s a bit much, sponsor half a table. Or a quarter. No contribution is too small or too big, as the number of working assembly tables depends on our community’s support. Additionally any corporate or individual that donates by March 6 in the amount of $480 or the equivalent, will get a spot for their logo and website on the back in the "Sponsored By" area of t-shirts to be distributed that day. Any individual or corporate donor of $100 or more will have their name listed in the "With Help From" column.

 

We are working on this project with help from other Rotary Clubs.  Hopefully yours can be one of them...
