Christian Life Students Packing Meals Food Packing Update:

On October 20th we had over 600 students from Rockford Christian Life package food with us at their school.  Kids ranging in age from 4-18!  They packaged 25,000 meals that will be shipped to Kingston, Jamaica later this month!  Special thanks to Christian Life School and Rockford First for helping with the funding of this project.  To learn how your school, church, or organization can schedule a packing event please call our office at 815.229.8731.

General Information:


Every minute 12 children die from starvation. Kids Around the World is a part of the solution to world hunger. We partner with Kids Against Hunger and package meals that contain all the nutritional requirements undernourished children need for physical and mental development. Kids Against Hunger is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide nutritious food to impoverished children around the world.

One food package contains six servings and costs $1.50. Each package is prepared in less than twenty minutes by adding it to boiling water. One box contains 36 packages, costs $54.00 and feeds 216 children. One pallet contains 33 boxes with 1,188 packages, costs $1,782.00 and feeds 7,128 children!

The food is a rice and soy mix fortified with 21 vitamins and minerals, 6 dehydrated vegetables and chicken flavoring.  This soy (52% protein) and nutrient rich formula reverses the starvation process and its effects. Many feeding organizations feed the hungry through commercial or processed food. Kids Against Hunger's food has proven to strengthen the immune system!

Meals are packaged by volunteers from churches, families, youth groups and individuals.  The distribution of the food is done through local churches who ensure the meals get to the children. It is our short term goal to combine these shipments with playground containers that ship all over the world. If you are interested in volunteering with the feeding program please contact us.
