KAH-Springfield

Volunteer...............
it is GOOD for your heart


Our Mission
We began in December, 2007 and we have no paid employees.  We use volunteers for all jobs at KAH-Springfield.  Our goal is to feed hungry people in the United States and starving people around the world.  With the help of volunteers we package well balance meals for the less fortunate.

Our Food
The meals we package were uniquely formulated by food scientists to provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins needed by an undernourished child’s body and mind. The food is also acceptable around the world.  The food offers all 9 of the essential amino acids required for complete nutrition for the mind and body.  It is very simple to prepare, requiring only 6 cups of boiling water to make a complete meal
.


Questions you may have about our organiztaion:
What do we do?  
Answer:   We package a specially formulated meal designed to nurse severely malnourished people back to health.
Who can help? 
Answer:   We wecome all ages young and old.  Children below the age of 9 will need an adult to help them with the process.
Why Do we do this?
Answer:   We have a passion for feeding children.

People we strive to help "State of the World's Children 2007" conducted by UNICEF, showed 10.1 million children die before they reach their fifth birthday. Almost all of these deaths occurred in developing countries. This means each day over 27,000 children die of starvation or illness attributed to complications related to hunger.

Projects for 2008-2009


Feeding Program in Tanzania:
We are going to establish a lasting relationship with Manyoni and Singida town in Tanzania.  We plan to work with the community to make sure adequate clean water and food are available for the local children.   By offering people access to healthy food and clean water we can empower people to pull themselves from poverty to independence for them and their families.  This project will require $40,000 for food and more for the water system and schools.  We want to continue this support each and every year.
  


Springfield Area Friends Feeding Friends :
We want to continue to support our community feeding programs at The Kitchen and Salvation Army in Springfield.  Your help is needed; financial contributions, volunteering and food donations.   The goal of this project is to furnish 10 cases of food, each week, to the feeding programs in our area.



Distributing Food at the City Dump

Meals for Mexico:
We want to support the Missions in Mexico in supplying healthy food to children and families who live off the dumps in Mexico.  The down swing in the economy has limited their funds and they have been forced to reduce the number of families they can aid.  We need your help to send food to them and supply a healthy diet to the poorest of the poor in Mexico.  This project will take about $12,000.   Help us supply food for the hungry children of the dump communities.


Helping Haiti Feeding Project:
Haiti has the worse poverty in the Western Hemisphere.  The situation was made worse with hurricanes Hannah and Gustav.  Life Line Christian Missions and Haiti's New Hope Mission are both well established organizations with proven a proven track record.   We will continue to support the people of Haiti and help them get back on their feed.
