Nearly a year ago, the Milbank Ministerial Association began talking
about the possibility of a food satellite station in Milbank, but there was no place to permanently house the equipment that would enable volunteers to package nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole that feed starving children and their families in the U.S.
and over 60 countries. When Orphan Grain Train received a donation of a building, we were invited to share the space with them. The $8,000 has been raised through gifts and grants from The Flynn Estate, LaBolt Covenant Church, American Lutheran Church Sunday School and WOW offering and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Care in Regions Grant of $4000. Kids Against Hunger will come inMarch or April and set up the food station and we’ll be ready to welcome volunteers from around the area to get to work! The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a
humanitarian food-aid organization, is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. Kids Against Hunger is not affiliated with or restricted to a particular religious group and does not discriminate on any basis when distributing its meals. In 2008 alone, volunteers at Kids Against Hunger’s food packaging centers across the USA packaged over 40 million meals for children and their families around
the world and around the corner. The Kids Against Hunger food packaging network consists of the organization’s International Headquarters office located in New Hope, MN (a suburb of Minneapolis),
a Division in Mankato, MN, and close to 70 independent non-profit food packaging “satellites” across the U.S. and Canada. Milbank will soon be one of those sites!
Watch for more information coming soon as things develop! |
