Purchase Your Own Food Packages
Want to sample the food we’re preparing and sending to Africa? Gather family and friends and begin the dialogue about what a many people eat (and feel fortunate to have). Perhaps you might consider hosting a Hunger Banquet to further amplify the crisis of global malnutrition. For this purpose, food packages can be purchased for $10 per 390 gram bag (suitable for 4 adults or 6 child servings). As the true cost of the bags is about $1.50 each, a significant portion of your cost is tax deductible and will help us to prepare meal packets for many others! Email us with your request and we will contact you to provide you with a mutually agreeable pick up time here at the Center (or arrange shipping for a nominal additional charge).
