Event Description

• What we'll do
During the month of February the Plant Based Nutrition for Life Meet Up will make a difference in the lives of starving children by saving their lives with vegan "Manna Packs". We are looking for 10 volunteers to pack meals at the Libertyville IL location. If you have never volunteered at Feed My Starving Children it will be an amazing learning experience and opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children that need your help. We will first view a short video of where the food goes and how it is changing lives. You will most likely see an eye opening video of real protein deficiency (not what people in the U.S. are worried about) and how vegan meals can reverse life threatening nutritional deficiencies.

We will then move to packing stations where small groups of 5 or 6 people will put together lifesaving "Manna Packs" containing soy, dehydrated vegetables, vitamin B12 and rice. You might be surprised at the system that has been derived to do this. Because we will need a firm comittment for help please only RSVP if you are sure you can make it. If something comes up and you are not able to attend, please update your RSVP. We need to show up with 10 solid volunteers. Time comittment is 90 minutes. Here's a link to a 4 minute video that you may want to watch regarding this volunteering opportunity. https://tinyurl.com/y7am3duz Note: If the link is not live (not sure what meet up allows) copy and past it in your browser. My Best Regards,
