Are you looking for a way to put some miles on your soul and give back to people in need of basic necessities? Become a part of something greater than yourself and join the effort to provide life-saving meals with Kids Against Hunger - St. Peters. Serving St. Charles County, this non-profit organization strives to provide nutritious meals for malnourished and starving families in the U.S. and in developing countries.

Through food packaging events and partnerships with organizations in the U.S. and on-the-ground missionaries in Haiti, this non-profit is able to provide support and hope for impoverished families. Their goal is to provide a stable nutritional foundation for these families, helping them move out of starvation and poverty and into self-sufficiency. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, citing information from the United Nations World Food Program, one in nine people—or 795 million people worldwide—suffer from chronic hunger. You can do your part to reduce those numbers by donating or participating in this charity.

Whether you’d like to get involved by donating your money or time, kids and their families around the world will be able to sleep with food in their bellies thanks to you. In 1974, the founder of this non-profit was on a volunteer mission to Honduras following a devastating hurricane. What he saw—an almost unimaginable number of children starving—gave him the drive and desire to provide aid to those in need. Thus birthed the Kids Against Hunger campaign and their incredible efforts.

You don’t have to be a billionaire to help end world hunger—all you need is a loving heart to get started. Find out more, donate, or host an event by visiting Kids Against Hunger - St. Peters online or by calling (716) 601-5273. You can also like them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
