Feed My Starving Children

My mom and dad and Matt's mom and Terry came with me to a mobile pack unit for Feed My Starving Children. It was a pretty interesting experience after doing the 5 Day Meal Challenge. The amount of food that we were "starving on" was enough to feed 6 people! In an hour and a half 250 people packed 56,000 meals - enough to feed 150 people one meal a day for an entire year. Pretty amazing!

The whole system was just that - quite a system. There were 2 people in charge of dumping exact amounts of ingredients into the funnel, another person held the bag under the funnel and then weighed the total bag and the whole thing was sealed, labeled and packed in a box.

The ingredients were rice, soy, dried vegetables, and some chicken flavoring. Each bag that you see below is enough for 6 people for their one meal for the day!
