The Pleasanton Corporate Visions’ teams had two great opportunities to take a little time out on March 9th and 15th to help package food for Kids Against Hunger. Kids Against Hunger was started to help feed children affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. They now service many areas of the world to feed starving children by providing them with a nutritious packaged meal.

Jaime Farrar, CVI Project Manager, did a fantastic job in coordinating two groups of P-Town employees to volunteer for both days.

Kids Against Hunger is a unique organization in that they do not send canned or nonperishable goods – they have actually created a recipe for a packaged meal that consists of a mixture of rice, soy, vitamins, and vegetables (think REALLY nutritious Rice-a-Roni tasting stuff) and can provide 6 meal servings for only $0.20 a serving.
