Local & Global Impact
Fighting hunger both here in San Diego County and across the world is a major priority of FFCC. In 2008 alone, FFCC volunteers and contributors purchased, packaged, and shipped over 1,200,000 meals to Tanzania, Africa and distributed food to local families in need. Unlike much of the food distributed to the hungry in third world countries, the
Kids Against Hunger meals assembled by FFCC actually work to help reverse the effects of starvation. The secret is a revolutionary food package that has been developed by some of the world's leading food scientists at Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills, and ADM. This one package provides six nutritionally-complete servings to feed starving children around the world as well as the hungry here at home - and all for pennies a day.
Food packaging events are held every few months at the Poway Dream Dinners and at other volunteer locations countywide. Check the Calendar for the next event and join us by Volunteering for a 1-2 hour time slot, or Donate toward the purchase of the rice, protein, vitamins, and vegetables that go into each meal or towards the extraordinary shipping expenses. You can find more details about our Packaging Events by downloading our Packaging Flyer and our Volunteer Packaging Guidelines. The time and money you spend will be rewarding for you and for those you help around the world!
