2 What is Stop Hunger Now? Stop Hunger Now is a tax-exempt U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit humanitarian relief organization founded in Since its inception, SHN has delivered food aid and disaster relief supplies in the form of food, medicines, medical supplies, medical equipment, clothing, and blankets to thousands of disaster victims and other hungry and vulnerable people in seventy-six countries. Our Vision: a world without hunger. Our Mission: to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life saving aid to the world s most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources. 2

3 What is the meal packaging program? SHN operates a unique meal packaging program that has organized more than 125,000 volunteers who have packaged more than 47 million meals for distribution in developing countries. The packaging operation is mobile it can go wherever volunteers are located and can be scaled to accommodate as few as 25 or as many as 500 volunteers at a time. One SHN packaging event can result in the packaging of more than 1,000,000 meals. The use of volunteers for product packaging has resulted in an extremely cost-effective operation while, at the same time, increasing awareness of global hunger and food insecurity issues across a broad cross-section of the U.S. population. Since the inception of the meal packaging program in December 2005, these packaged meals have been used primarily to support school feeding programs in developing countries. Stop Hunger Now and hunger experts agree that hunger is solvable and is the common thread among the world s most challenging issues. Targeting hunger specifically by supporting school feeding programs leverages support to other causes including poverty, disease, education, and the welfare of women and children. The growth of Stop Hunger Now s meal packaging program has been dramatic, as illustrated in the following graph: Millions of Meals Packaged

4 Who is involved? What are the key benefits for volunteers? Due to the valuable experience Stop Hunger Now s meal packaging program provides volunteers, Stop Hunger Now has received much interest in establishing new locations throughout the U.S. and around the world. The demand in the community comes from organizations such as churches, civic organizations, corporations, and universities. Stop Hunger Now s vision in 2011 is to meet the demand we see not only from those suffering from hunger, but also from the compassionate volunteers who want to help them. Stop Hunger Now s meal packaging program supports the most sustainable way to fight hunger and provides volunteers with a fun, hands-on international volunteer mission project for caring people of all ages. Through the meal packaging program, our greatest dream is being realized thousands of volunteers are learning the value of addressing hunger and are joining Stop Hunger Now in creating a world without hunger. They are taking action by volunteering to package meals and helping spread the word. Volunteers typically commit to a minimum of two hours at a time. Volunteering with Stop Hunger Now offers a wonderful volunteer opportunity for youth groups, religious organizations, civic and social clubs, schools, colleges and universities, fraternities and sororities.

5 How are meals distributed? Stop Hunger Now distributes its meals primarily through school feeding programs operated by partner organizations in developing countries. These school feeding programs promote education, encourage children to attend school, improve the health and nutrition of students, address gender inequalities, spur economic growth, combat child labor, and create a platform for tackling global issues. In addition to supporting school feeding programs, Stop Hunger Now also provides meals in response to crisis relief. Our strong partnership in Haiti, for example, enabled us to ship more than 8 million meals to support relief efforts after the January 2010 earthquake.
