High Schoolers Give Two Days, Feed 5,000
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A local non-profit, Feeding The Nations (FTN), will be shipping over 285,000 meals to Zambia thanks to the efforts of Fox Valley Lutheran High School, Appleton, Wis. On April 22 and 23, the students will be packaging 42,000 pounds of high-quality rice, vegetable and chicken flavor meals that are fortified with vitamins and minerals. FTN will then send the meals to Zambia to continue its support of 17 Christian orphanages and schools, feeding 5,000 needy children each day.
"We are always grateful for partnerships and helping hands that make feeding hungry nations possible," said Steve Sumrall, FTN president. "To have a high school so willing to give up two days for such a cause is awe-inspiring. We commend them for their desire to roll up their sleeves, take action and feed thousands of hungry children."
To make the shipment possible, FTN and Fox Valley are working alongside another organization. Impact Lives is providing $25,000 to buy necessary food and packing supplies. FTN will be covering the $13,000 shipping costs. In the last five years FTN has provided nearly six million dollars worth of food to the children in Zambia.
