Brookdale's Opportunity to Feed My Starving Children
In January the Brookdale Homeowner's Association is hosting a night of goodwill at the Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) facility located in Aurora. Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit organization striving to eliminate starvation in children by packaging and distributing nutritious food to children throughout the world.
A few facts about Feed My Starving Children food packs include:
- one bag of food provides meals for six children
- 36 bags (or 216 meals) complete one box
- 33 boxes complete one pallet
- 7,128 meals are provided per pallet
- In 2008 volunteers packed 73.6 million meals that were distributed in over 45 countries
Brookdale Goal:
It is BHA's goal to register 90 people for this event. Every volunteer has the potential to pack 1.2 boxes every two hours. At this rate Brookdale could provide 90 boxes of packaged food which translates to 19,440 meals. That's enough to feed 53 children for one year. WE CAN DO THIS!!
When/Where:
We are planning this event for Saturday, January 9th from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. This is an event for everyone older than third grade (sorry, FMSC rule). Parents must remain on site with their children.
- FMSC is located at 555 Exchange Court, Aurora.
This event is free. However, FMSC packing sites are always in need of the items listed below. Please feel free to bring an item to donate: Paper towels, 9 volt batteries, toilet paper, Black Sharpie markers, kitchen trash bags, Whiteboard markers.
So we know how many people to accommodate for this event, please return the form by Monday, December 14th to:
Julie Knoll
935 Stonehenge Court
