$10 Feeds 40 People! - donate here

The current economic crisis has set the stage for significant challenges-both for those in need and for those seeking to respond. The world's hungry struggle each day to pay for a single spoonful of food  and stand by in fear and frustration as the cost of that spoonful soars.  Exorbitant increases in food prices also means more families have joined the ranks of the world's hungry.  More than ever, they need Stop Hunger Now.
 
To package one million meals $250,000 needs to be raised (one million meals costing twenty five cents each). Additional help is needed by all of the participants in order to reach our goal.
 
How can you help?
 
We are respectfully requesting that each group registered to volunteer at this year's event raise a $10 average donation per volunteer.  A pledge confirming each group's commitment to raise these funds should be received by May 1, 2009.  Payments will be due by the packaging date. FYI: A volunteer packages approximately 288 meals (.25 each) during a shift (cost for packaged food by 1 person is $72)

Registration

We still have space available on Friday- August 21st. Contact Tierza if you'd like to volunteer with this shift.

Registration is now closed for Saturday August 22nd. We have 22 groups on the waiting list. Groups will be notified by August 10th if we are able to place volunteers.
