Numana & Simple Church pack 130,000 meals!

Joan and I each coached two groups of  twelve out of 500 people who helped pack 130,000 meals with Numana Ministries on December 7 in Shreveport, LA.

Based in El Dorado, KS, Numana, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity formed in August 2008, as an international hunger relief organization. The  first food-packaging event was held in El Dorado, KS in December of 2009.  Since then Numana has packaged over 30 million meals from coast to coast with the help of over 170,000 volunteers.
 
Numana events welcome people from all ages and backgrounds. The events provide a hands on project in which almost any age or skill level can participate. It builds unity in a community, facilitates leadership development and educates people about hunger issues while engaging advocacy.



The two groups I coached packed 1800 meals (50 boxes with 36 meals in each box)!

Each meal can feed 6 people, so 24 volunteers impacted 10,800 people with one meal or a small family with three meals per day for almost two years!

Thank you Group 7 & 8! You blessed my socks off !!!!!!! (Battery died before I got pics of Group 7).
 
Next on the mission projects is food distribution locally on December 20, 2014.
