Update on Stop Hunger Now: 135,000 Meals Shipped to Haiti!

135,000 of the meals that we and others packaged as part of the Stop Hunger Now event on October 24 have now been shipped to Haiti.  They will be distributed  through Convoy of Hope, an organization that has served more than 55 million people throughout the world through international children feeding initiatives, community outreach, disaster response and partner resourcing. The programs being implemented in Haiti are aimed not just at survival, but also at long-term sustainability with such things as the development of tilapia farms and the implementation of other skills-training programs.
