Our Mission
We began in December, 2007 and we have no paid employees. We use volunteers for all jobs at KAH-Springfield. Our goal is to feed hungry people in the United States and starving people around the world. With the help of volunteers we package well balance meals for the less fortunate.
Our Food
The meals we package were uniquely formulated by food scientists to provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins needed by an undernourished child’s body and mind. The food is also acceptable around the world. The food offers all 9 of the essential amino acids required for complete nutrition for the mind and body. It is very simple to prepare, requiring only 6 cups of boiling water to make a complete meal.

After unloading, inspection, customs and any other process required by the receiving government the food will be in the hands of hungry people in Haiti. The food will probably be released in 30-60 days. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND SUPPORT.

Meals for Mexico:
We want to support the Missions in Mexico in supplying healthy food to children and families who live off the dumps in Mexico. The down swing in the economy has limited their funds and they have been forced to reduce the number of families they can aid. We need your help to send food to them and supply a healthy diet to the poorest of the poor in Mexico. This project will take about $12,000. Help us supply food for the hungry children of the dump communities.
