Our Mission
The mission of the Palm Beach county chapter of Kids Against Hunger is to build to one million meals a year within the first three years and then to two million meals a year thereafter. We can do that through the satellite model andwill open additionall satellites or create a super satellite to accomadate this mission. The following states the vison and model of the headquaters of Kids Against Hunger which at the end of 2009 is running about 40 satellites. The final results for each year are published. How many volunteers, total meals created and countries/meals shipped. It is either available or will be available on this site.

 

As a TOTAL ORGANIZATION, it is our mission to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed God’s starving children throughout the world.

 

It is our vision to set up food packaging satellites in the USA and around the world, and to spearhead community and youth volunteer packaging of Kids Against Hunger’s highly nutritious meals. It is also our vision to deliver Kids Against Hunger’s food through partnerships with humanitarian organizations in the USA and worldwide.

 

The organization was founded in March 1999 by Richard Proudfit, a successful entrepreneur. In 1974 Richard volunteered on a medical mission to Honduras after Hurricane Fifi had ravaged that country. Profoundly affected by the starvation he saw among the children there, he made a decision to commit his life and financial resources to solving the enormous problem of world hunger. His life’s work became clear to him – feed these starving children.

 

Richard Proudfit enlisted leading executives at Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills, and Archer Daniels Midland to formulate a food that would meet all the nutritional requirements of severely malnourished children for physical growth and mental development. The result was the creation of a balanced, high nutrition food that can reverse the starvation process, and restore a child’s health and mental alertness.
