"I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had packing

food at your facility. As Darrel knows, our daughter was adopted

at the age of 7 from China and only weighed 37 pounds.

Did you know that we have been in "business" for nearly twenty seven months and during that time we have fed over  TWO MILLION people with food prepared by you, at Kids Against Hunger Sioux Falls.  Know one thing, we could not have done it without you!

EVERY 6 SECONDS A CHILD DIES FROM HUNGER RELATED ILLNESSES 

Do you want to help make a difference?!           YOU CAN!!      25cents is all it takes to feed 1 child, $1.50 will feed a family of 6!   Packaging these nutritional meals is a great way to show that you care and Kids Against Hunger makes it easy and fun.

GETTING STARTED:

Step 1: We recommend at least 10 people for a group because it takes that many people to staff a packing line.  We can run four lines at one time which means 40 people would be our limit. Youth groups should bring along several adults to help things flow smoothly.

Step 2: Decide on dates and times that will work for you. Go to our HOW TO HELP/SCHEDULE A PACK  tab to see a  listing of packs already scheduled.  We like to pack on Tuesday & Wednesday nights at 6:30pm, and on Saturday mornings,  if needed on Sunday afternoons.  The average packing session lasts about 1&1/2 hrs- including instructions and clean up.

When you've found an open date, contact us by email (click here)

- We need to know:

• Group Name (church, organization, company, family, etc.)
• Group contact person including email or phone
• Date of pack and preferred time
• Group size

Step 3: Raise funds!  Unfortunately, we must rely completely on your donations to purchase all of the ingredients and supplies and to pay for shipping.  So your funds are critical.  The average person will pack about $25 worth of meals in 1 hour, so this is the amount that we request from each person who comes to pack.  Occasionally, we do have the funds to help out some YOUTH groups, so please ask me about this when you email.

There are many ways to raise these funds, everything from a bake sale to asking 10 friends for $10! Remind people that a single quarter can feed a starving child.

Here are a couple of PDF files that may help you (Fund-Raising #1, Fund-Raising #2). We want each group to do the best they can to fund the meals they pack so please help as much as you can!
