Love the Hungry small-group packaging events are a fun and meaningful way to help end hunger. With the help of your family and friends, church, school, business, or community organization, it’s easy to recruit a packaging team of 12 volunteers. Love the Hungry’s nutrient-rich meals are donated to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) worldwide with an emphasis on reaching the world’s most vulnerable children. Although our primary target is children in developing countries, 15% of the total meals packaged are provided to Kentuckiana agencies to assist local families in need.
