BonaResponds packs 108,864 meals for starving children in daylong campus event

Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., (left) President of St. Bonaventure University, participates in a food-packing event on campus.

BonaResponds, St. Bonaventure University's disaster-response organization, packed 108,864 meals to send to hungry children in Haiti and the Philippines in a daylong work session Saturday, March 22, at the Reilly Center Arena on campus.

Volunteers from campus, surrounding communities and even some prospective St. Bonaventure students who were invited to experience a collegiate service-learning activity participated in the event. 

Working in three shifts, hundreds of volunteers created individual meal packets containing rice, soy protein, dehydrated vegetables, vitamins and minerals. When mixed with boiling water, each packet becomes a meal specially designed to feed the malnourished.

The food will be distributed by Feed My Starving Children, a Christian nonprofit organization that distributes packed meals through missionaries and global nonprofits across the world.

BonaResponds held fundraisers to raise the 22 cents-per-meal cost associated with the project.

Learn more about BonaResponds, become a volunteer, or support their work with a donation by visiting the organization's website at www.bonaresponds.org.
