Stop Hunger Now Update

We are delighted to announce that the meals from your meal packaging event on 2/16/2016 have been shipped in a container totaling 282,312 meals from our Richmond, VA warehouse. The meals will be received by our in-country partner Highlands Friends of Haiti in Haiti. The LaPleiade School and 7 other rural schools in the area of Cange, Haiti reach more than 2,500 needy school children with their school lunch feeding program. Founded in 1995 in connection with Zanmi Lasante (Partners in Health), La Pleiade has been faithfully serving to better the lives of children in rural Haiti, along with the network of other rural schools. This feeding program furthers the goals of the schools as these meals have both a short and long term effect on the community, schools, and on both the students and their families. When students are hungry, grades suffer. With meals, health improves, grades improve, and school attendance improves. A hot meal at school is often the only food these students will receive.
