At our meal packing events, participants package nutritious meals that are shipped globally to children and families who are impacted by hunger and malnutrition. We are partnering again with Lifeline Christian Mission (lifeline.org) who will bring the supplies and coordinate all shipping and distribution. Our job is to put all the packages together!
