Deliver the Difference

General information

We started by packaging 200,000 meals for the earthquake disaster in Haiti. In that first year we packaged 246,000 meals. 2011 started quickly with 100,000 meals packaged after the Japan earthquake, 50,000 meals packaged after the Alabama tornadoes, 10,000 meals packaged after the Joplin tornado, and the 154,000 meals packaged for the Horn of Africa. At the end of the year over 507,000 meals were packaged. At home we started to notice the number of homeless in our own communities and decided we had to do something. In November we prepared and served Thanksgiving dinner for over 1,200 people. In december we prepared and delivered over 800 Boxes of Hope in Lake County. Over 2,400 volunteers gave their time to package these meals.
