Today I helped out filling food bags with Rotarians, Rotoracter and others for “Stop Hunger Now”. Each bag contains soy meal, rice, dried veggies and a “chicken flavored” pill that contains vitamins but no chicken. The meal is all vegetarian. Each packet will provide a school lunch for 6 children when boiled to rehydrate the mixture. Four people at each table add one of the four ingredients each while the fifth holds the bag under a funnel to collect the mixture. The bags are then taken to a weighting station to be adjusted in weight and then to a heat sealing station. The morning shift in which I participated filled over 25,000 lunches. The effort was headed by Dan Askins, a local realtor and Rotarian.http://www.stophungernow.org/site/PageServer
