January Update

Last Saturday it was crazy at the factory! But a good crazy :-) We had 6 lines of volunteers packing at the same time and by the end of the day we packed 6 pallets of food!! That's 42,768 meals packed in just one day! Awesome. We (us, you!) are making a dent in the number of kids dying to starvation....and we're just getting started. We are believing for a dedicated warehouse that will allow us to do this type of packing on a regular basis. Please let us know if you can help. Thank you so much.

Clothing Drive for Orphans of Swaziland

Over the next three weeks, KAH Cincinnati will be collecting clothing and shoes to be sent with the Kids Against Hunger food to Swaziland. We are hoping that the shipment of (2) 40’ containers will leave the U.S. by early February (we are still waiting for customs paperwork).

Jeans, blouses, dresses, pants, shoes, jerseys, light jackets, sneakers, sandals are good. No heavy coats are needed. All sizes from infants to teens are needed, and the clothing must be clean and only new (or very gently used) please. The items must be brought to the Kids Against Hunger Factory and dropped off while we are there, which is on Saturday only, Jan 17, Jan 24 and Jan 31 from 10:00am-4:00pm. It is very easy to get to in Union Center (http://www.achildshopeintl.org/Directions.html)

We are also raising funds to build a fresh water well in Swaziland. Any donations can also be dropped off with the clothing & shoes.

Any questions can be sent to: KAH@achildshopeintl.org

Thank you for helping save these children.

Knights Boys basketball team deliver meaningful impact at Christmas

Coach Jake Grunkemeyer led a team of over 30 on Saturday December 13th in preparing meals for starving children around the world. The Kings Men’s basketball program Varsity and JV players came along side Larry Bergeron and the Kids Against Hunger Cincinnati program to prepare meals for starving children around the world. In two hours the team prepared enough food to feed a village of 30 for a year. Today over 30,000 deaths occur daily from starvation. Our Kings Athletes, took time from their schedule to make a small dent in this global issue.
