About the Event

JOIN US APRIL 5TH FOR OUR 9TH ANNUAL ONE MILLION MEALS PETERBOROUGH

We have the opportunity and challenge to package 60,000 highly nutritious meals for people struggling with hunger around the world and right here in our neighbourhood. This marks our 9th annual event as we work towards our objective of packaging one million meals for those in need.

The goal of this event is to engage the people of Peterborough to make a difference in the lives of others. In order to do this, we will provide and volunteer to package One Million Meals using Kids Against Hunger Canada’s model of food packaging. We encourage individuals from diverse social, religious, sports, academic, business, and municipal backgrounds to come together and form teams that will participate in a friendly competition to assemble as many meals as possible during a 90-minute shift.

This event promises to be an enjoyable, energetic, and meaningful opportunity for the people of Peterborough to contribute positively to the lives of others! Will you join us in seizing this outstanding opportunity to create a significant impact on the lives of those in need?

To cover the expenses of the food, it is essential to have everyone’s support in raising the necessary funds. For the packaging of 60,000 meals, we suggest a donation of $75, or any contribution you can make towards covering the food costs. Come be a part of the excitement and REGISTER TODAY.

About the food

Kids Against Hunger Canada’s meals have been formulated by food scientists to provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins needed by a malnourished child’s body and mind. The food also accommodates to the broad diversity of ethnic tastes and cultural differences around the world.

Kids Against Hunger Canada’s meals offer all nine of the essential amino acids required for complete nutrition – something that can’t be said about other typical food relief sources such as rice or beans alone.

The beauty of the food formulation is its simplicity. It is made from four readily available, dry ingredients that are easy to package, keep for long periods, and require only boiling water to prepare. Despite the simplicity of the food’s content, it is a nutritionally complex and well balanced meal.
