Saturday, August 28, 2010 at Boys & Girls Club-Minges Unit

Stop Hunger Now has launched a huge response to the recent tragedy in Haiti.  SHN has been working in Haiti since 1998 and are committed to working alongside the Haitian people as they rebuild and beyond. In the last 4 years, SHN has sent over 6 million meals and $4 million of in-kind aid to Haiti. In fact, 1.5 million meals were shipped to Haiti 2 months ago. These meals are now being used for immediate crisis relief. The University Million Meal Week will provide Haiti with 750,000 additional meals.

More than 4,000 volunteers from nine area universities and colleges will come together on August 21 and 28, 2010 to package a record breaking 1 million meals. Organized by Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief organization headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., the event will further Stop Hunger Now’s 2009 campaign to package 5.5 million meals to feed the world’s hungry.

ECU students, faculty, staff, and community members are WELCOME!
