Rancho Solano Preparatory School and the Feeding Children Everywhere non-profit
are partnering to package more than 60,000 meals for hungry children in Arizona and Haiti.  This event will occur on Saturday, March 2, 9 a.m. – noon.

The60,000-plus meals will feed approximately 240,000 people. One meal package can feed four people. More than 200 volunteers will fill one massive semi-truck with meal packages. About 30,000 meal packages are going to local food banks, and 30,000 will be delivered to Haiti. The packages will be sent to Arizona Food Banks, a network benefiting United Food Bank, St. Mary Food Bank Alliance, Desert Mission Food Bank, Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, and Yuma Community Food Bank.
