Global Humanitarian Mission, a Fort Lauderdale-based Christian nonprofit, plans to pack 287,000 meals over two days at St. Paul Lutheran Church & School in Boca Raton. The Global Meal Pack event is set for Nov. 20 and 21, and the group expects 1,335 volunteers.
The meals are meant for families facing hunger. The organization said last year’s meals reached families in Haiti, Burkina Faso and Guatemala. This year’s shipments will go wherever the need is greatest, according to the group.
The packing event is part of a wider effort that includes clean water access, housing, health care, education, disaster relief and other work overseas. The group said it is also continuing fieldwork in Kenya, where teams are refurbishing a community health center and drilling for clean water.
For South Florida residents, the event offers a chance to volunteer close to home during the holiday season. The source did not list a sign-up process or ticket details in the text provided.
